 Bizarre, but it works. There were some stories I loved and some stories that I didn't understand because I'm a philistine. Still will recommend this and it will sit highly on my list of 2018 books. An excellent debut collection.

Dark, sensual and violent stories examining different aspects of feminity, extrapolated into vivid metaphors made real - from losing yourself in a relationship, the violence of diet culture, reconnecting with your inner child, or a wry unravelling of police prodecural tropes, these stories are a rich garden of unsettling imagery and gorgeous language.

Den började så bra. Spejsad, men bra. Men när jag kom till storyn som jag tror anspelar på en tv-serie som jag aldrig har tittat på så tappade jag sugen.
Inte riktigt min kopp te, men intressant att ha läst.
