Chlorine by Jade Song

lexi_readz's review against another edition

Coming of age, sapphic horror. I think the  goal of this book was to make me uncomfortable and it succeeded.

This book was so intense and horrifying in the perfect way. If you liked Our Wives Under the Sea you would like this.
Would be 5 stars if I could see myself rereading but I don’t.
