This cover artist for President!
But otherwise, an utter waste of precious resources. Save the trees, your hard earned $, and spare yourself the 273 pages of torture.

Thought it sounded so interesting that I could brave the more gore-y body horror parts but unfortunately I was wrong :(

If you found the elixir for youth, how far would you go to keep it? This is Beauty Industry Horror at its finest. Body horror, addiction, grief, and murder soak these bloody pages until they shimmer.

This was fantastic and is joining my list of favourite books read in 2024
Like The Devil Wears Prada meets Death Becomes Her (both of which I adore!) but set within the beauty industry. The behaviour was unhinged yet also, I found myself seeing why these people would resort to such measures. The chaotic behaviour felt in keeping with the characters
The narrative got a little disorienting at times which worked so well at conveying how Sophia's state of mind was.
This was a glossy and aesthetic world with a gruesome underbelly and I loved every moment of this book
The ending. I gasped!
I got this book on NetGalley but these feelings are my own. I need to get a physical copy of this book to put on my shelves next to Rouge and start a wee beauty cult book section
