A horror story. That is usually not my genre, but like Miller’s other work, this story completely gripped me. 
Though I know she wrote it before getting Long COVID, I couldn’t help but connect the rage and despair of Galatea begging the doctor to believe her with the millions having the same fight today.

Yes.

Madeline at it again with her gut wrenching stories😔 I couldn't put this one down, I was glued to it. It was dark, morbid, and I'm realizing that's my type of shit despite what I believed. It's a little bit more raw than her previous works, so that was jarring at first.

My copy had a little note from Madeline, which just made me love her and this work more.

I still cannot stop thinking about this book help me

I absolutely adored the ending! It reminded me of those dark fairytales (Little Mermaid esque). I think it's a perfect conclusion, and absolutely metal as hell, which is the shit I love.
