This book did not work for me. I understand why people like this book but I HATED the ending. If you are someone who typically does not read horror like I do, maybe stay away from this one.

This was a fantastic read. Everything I want in a horror novel: dark humor, clever writing, and deeper, profound themes. Patricia Wants To Cuddle really took me by surprise in a good way!

This was dark. And funny. And dark. Great commentary on reality TV. Wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but enjoyed it nonetheless.

4.0

A fun destination horror romp, like a beach read for slasher fans. I enjoyed the dark humour and changing POVs of several women who are part of a reality dating show à la The Bachelor. It was short, fast-paced and satisfying. Listening to it as a full cast audio book was especially entertaining, at times it felt like I was almost watching the reality show itself devolving into weird chaos. It scratched that same silly reality tv itch with a big helping of WTF for good measure. I only wished the author explored more of "her," but overall, a delightful horror read!

This was a super fun read. The ending was very weird, but I'm into it. I never quite knew where it was going until the end. Fun, easy read!
