dark emotional funny mysterious reflective medium-paced

5.0

Nightbitch is a story of pent-up frustration, wolfish hunger, and fierce love. Yoder's protagonist is complicated by her seemingly perfect surroundings and wrathful loneliness, and is a woman who is not altogether miserable or satisfied. She learns to lean in to her animal instincts and to revel in the wildness and brutality of raising a tiny human ripped from her own body and blood. This may be the book with the most amount of quotes I've ever highlighted. I adored Yoder's use of language and her protagonist's unfeigned self-expression. This is a layered, nuanced, and humorous tale of a woman asserting her power, one that ends with a triumphant understanding that underneath our civilities, we are animals with a natural and savage inclinations to love ourselves and our own.
