Let me begin by saying that this book is not what I expected. I thought Monstersona would be kind of like a queer version of the dystopian-style young-adult fiction novels of my childhood; instead, I found an absolutely unhinged horror-romance-thriller that functions as a multilayered story showing the complexities of trauma, grief, and recovery. This book is perfect for fans of Jennifer’s Body (the most bisexual horror film of all time, and specifically mentioned in this book!), the television series Daybreak and The Last of Us, and literally any kind of horror-comedy media. 

Also, there is an amazing dog! His name is Tigger and I love him.

Took a bit to finish this because I didn't wanna take my hardcover to work and get it dirty but it was a solid book! I feel like the pacing was a bit wonky for me personally, but I enjoyed this messy, monster-filled, sapphic road trip!
