I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. While it never felt like the story was dragging the long build up to the action made me want to spend a little more time on the ending. It’s a great book to start spooky season with and will definitely appeal to hate watchers of reality television. I just wish I’d gotten to learn more about Patricia.

The cover and title brought me into this wild weird book, and it was way more fun than I even expected. This is a crazy, fun, feminist fast read.  The first half of the story reads like a funny critique of The Bachelor type reality shows, and the second half is...I don't even know how to describe it. Wild. Batshit. Bonkers. I am afraid to talk more as I don't want to spoil it, but it was so entertaining.

This book is really bizarre in a great way! It gets grisly, and the ending is unsettling, but it's a fascinating deep dive into the psychology of reality TV, internalized misogyny, the wild woman archetype, the true place of humans in our ecosystems, the morality of sacrificial violence, and more. Strong recommend, if you can handle some body horror and gore.
