This was right up my alley. I really liked this satire of the wellness craze, social media and conspiracy theorists. It was fast moving, had twists of delight and opened your eyes with the satire, some of it was brilliant. Definately not for everyone, but this one worked for me.
Valerie has become a health nut, and has committed to living a healthy lifestyle, and eliminate all toxins from her body. It is important to her. So naturally, when she hears of a wellness retreat, lead by the Doctor, whose followers believe that by doing yoga with a hula hoop on a mini trampoline, while practicing "screaming" and drinking blood is the road to super healthy living. Free of toxins. The blood is the life.
However, the easily triggered rednecks living in this rural part of Pennsylvania are not happy with the group of health-nut hippies that have invaded their town, and corrupt them.
Short and funny, this made some excellent points.
Thanks to Net Galley for sending this e-book ARC for review.
