A gorgeous, fresh and truly unsettling horror story about what it means to be a woman and the hatred we harbour for other women. I've never really read anything like it before.

I've given myself some time to think this through - watched a few reviews on BookTube. 
This book is challenging. It's a very layered experience, where you can't 'shut off' while reading or else you'll completely lose both the plot and the direction we're headed. As such, a re-read may be necessary to see what even happened. I am one who didn't see the hype in this, maybe because it's strange, maybe because horror isn't my genre, maybe because I just felt like the book went right over my head.
It's divisive.
