Had high hopes for this as it has all the ingredients that sounded perfectly up my street. The concept was intriguing and I can’t lie, as a chronic pain sufferer myself, I found moments extremely cathartic. But the writing style really let it down for me; for the most part, it felt heavy-handed and lacking in the kind of subtle exploration I was hoping for.

First, Mona Awad is a phenomenal writer, and I’ll definitely be picking up her other books. Second, this book weird and definitely won’t be to everyone’s taste. As a feminist and sufferer of chronic pain, this book spoke to me though. It’s a ride…expect magic and madness, tragedy and comedy, mania and depression. I have a feeling I’ll be thinking about this book for ages.
