- Plot- or character-driven? Character
2.5
If I were to give this a rating on interesting premise alone, this would be a five star weird romp. A new mother is alone a lot of the time, turning into a dog at night? Weird, provocative!
But, my actual enjoyment of this book was severely diminished because of the rampant animal cruelty. I also think that the actual messages and themes of the book were not sticking the landing with me because of how flippantly it treated some of the main characters actions as redeemable.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Body horror
Moderate: Sexism, Toxic relationship, and Violence
Several animals are killed violently, Wild and domestic alike, throughout the book, in graphic detail.saramassoudi's review against another edition

This is a pretty weird book. I think it’s ideas paint motherhood in a really important way though and I found myself enjoying Nightbitch’s journey.
