Such an odd read, but, oddly, I was sad to have it end.

an appropriate level of body horror and cult fanaticism

Too cynical. Every character greedy, vain, manipulative, or ignorant at best. Cool premise but I can't endure that worldview for weeks on end (since that's how long it takes to read anything with kids around).

Incredibly fascinating characters and exploration of what love is, especially between family members. However the book is incredibly unsettling and at times just gross and uncomfortable. Very glad I read it but I definitely would not have picked it for myself.
