Motherthing by Ainslie Hogarth

3.0

Motherthing was a surprising read. The flip back and forth between a more traditional prose and the more screenplay-esc writing style made the story interesting and broke up the plot in a good way, making some of the harder to digest pieces easier to take in. It did, however, make it hard to determine if everything that happened within the screenplay moments were real or not. I'm sure that was the intention, and it worked incredibly well - I had no idea what was real and what wasn't until everything was confirmed by the cannibalism jumpscare at the end.

The allusions to her being dead while she and her husband are...reconnecting...at the end really knocked the whole book down a star though. That was...hard to process, to say the least.
