For those while enjoy a slow building horror, and wrestling with oneself while trying to live with the gaslighting from those around you, this is an incredible book. It focuses in small on a small southern group of women all with their differences. They come together and then fall apart only to come together stronger than before. It focuses on how easily the American dream is unraveled and the monster behind it, highlighting how racism and misogyny is often the culprit behind it all. 
The book was well written and easy to read, with a medium pace and intriguing characters.
