I absolutely loved the concept and the setting. I really, really wanted to like this. The main character's internal dialogue / personification just felt so... rough? Edgy? Immature? It felt too much like the audience of the book was younger kids.

That was an amazing book! I expected it to be good but I didn't expect to be blown away! It's well written and the characters are well developed. It discusses so many issues to do with familial and societal expectations and capitalism. I honestly can't wait to read everything else Gwendolyn Kiste has written!
WOW. This book was just absolutely incredible. The prose was beautiful and somehow nostalgic, the characters were devastatingly complex, and it was the perfect length to tell the story fully without over-telling. I'm buying every book by this author.

Steel-town destruction seeps into the young women, leading to their transformation, and a horror atmosphere in a run-down town. Picked for reading challenge.
I liked the synopsis and was excited at the idea of the book, but it felt like the author never really dove in. I felt like we were tiptoeing towards the plot but never really getting into the story.
No esperaba encontrar en este libro tantos temas distintos, tanta crítica social. La historia de la transformación de estas chicas es interesante, pero, todo lo que la envuelve, la enriquece mucho.
Dark and weird and melancholy! I enjoyed this quite a bit even though it didn’t quite come together for me in the end.
