Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for an eARC of the novel in exchange for a review.
I devoured this book, and if it could devour me back I would let it in a heartbeat. I genuinely cannot remember the last time I obsessed over a book like this; I thought about it during every quiet moment, sacrificed sleep over reading another chapter, and when I finally reached the end I felt so delightfully satiated. The temptation to pick it up and start the story over again is lingering even as I write my review.
Feast While You Can is unsettling and gritty and terrifying at times, while presenting the reader with characters I want so badly to be friends with (or perhaps just be), who made me laugh at their dumb jokes and cry over their heartbreak, while the threat of the Plot hung over all of us.
I love monsters and lesbians and this book was a love letter to both. This book is superbly written by talented authors with a twist that I think every reader of horrors or thrillers can enjoy, but most of all this book is for lesbians, and I am so so thankful it exists.
