Interesting, but it didn't seem to give enough to accomplish what it set out to do.

A very strong collection of grossly relatable stories dripping in feminist metaphors. Rose Keating makes the weirdest sh*t seem normal in these narratives, creating such an uncomfortably fascinating feeling throughout. You truly couldn't look away, even if you wanted to. Definitely recommend to all my weird little friends who love gross little stories.

I'm not usually a fan of short stories but each one in this book really packs a punch. At times veering into nightmarish the author twists familiar scenarios in ways that highlight the absurdities of the reality behind them.
Squirm and Oddbody were the standout stories for me. 

Many thanks to Netgalley and Cannongate Books for providing a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.
