Honestly, most of what I didn’t like was the ending. We got no answers for anything really, and it left with absolutely no resolution. It just felt like it was dragged out and then it just ended. The switching POV I normally really like just didn’t work for me; they just seemed too close to one another and a few pages in I’d forget which character it even was.

This book brought the vibes. Amazing horror and creepy vibes all around, disturbing descriptions of the girls and what the Tox wrecked on their bodies. The body horror in this was amazing and beautifully disturbing.
However, that's about all I'd give this book in all honesty. The first part of the book felt like exposition. Understandable because we of course need to learn about their situation and then we could move on from there right? Except we basically don't ever move on. Literally the book ends once
I do kind of see the feminism, LGBT relationships but also they were so poorly developed and just barely there. I spent more than half of this book waiting for something to happen that nearing the end of it I was counting the amount of pages I had left wondering if something was going to happen in what we had remaining.
Overall, if you're fine with a story going literally nowhere, sure I guess you may be the target audience for this. But for me, the lack of explanation of basically anything at all just makes me wish I left this in the thrift store I found it in.
