Definitely not for people who get squirmish, as there is a lot of gore… But if I managed it, I suppose many people can 🫠
I appreciated the perspectives of all the different characters (Allie, Jocelyn at some points, Margot, Roxy and Tunde) and I loved the way they all started to intertwine with each other through different ways 😳
It definitely had ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ energy that I could appreciate and I love the flip side 👏🏼
I’m definitely recommending this to anyone who’s a fan of gory, intense reads! The fact it had Margaret Atwood’s seal of importance was impressive ✨
