This is an odd story. It's slightly dystopian, a bit thriller, and rather gory at times. It's not really my usual fare, but the premise is fascinating and the writing caught me up and I had trouble putting the book down. I saw the ending coming—at least a portion of it—but that didn't make the rest of the story any less interesting. While I think you could easily end the story here, I already bought the sequel because this one was so intriguing and I'm curious to see where it goes from here.

I should have disliked this book for its goriness, but I found myself interested in Molly, with her strong desires and bizarre constraints and unusual parents.

Shocking and terrific. The premise seemed thin when I first heard it, but Thompson turns it into something haunting, disturbing and much more than I thought it would be. Extremely happy to be so surprised.
