This book is so freaking good!!! It had me guessing until the very end and man did I love the twist. I can 1000% see why the new season of AHS is based on this and I cannot wait to watch.
My ~only~ critique is probably very personal to me, but this book paints all doctors are scummy assholes that don’t believe women and prey on their patients. And tbh I think the author may actually believe that based on the authors note 😅 that’s super unsettling given the recent interest in alternative medicine (essential oils, raw milk, etc) in the US. Idk the book is basically perfect, but the author has a SUPER cold take about the medical system IMO.
