A review by starzyrose
Rouge by Mona Awad

4.0

When skincare obsessed Belle's mother dies, she returns to Southern California to find debt and mysterious circumstances left behind. She soon finds herself invited to an exclusive spa that her mother attended and things unravel from there.

Things get strange in this novel in a way that is not totally unexpected from Awad and can be truly gripping when done well as it is here. This story hints at dark fairytales while exploring themes of beauty and identity and the dangers of relying on the perceptions and expectations of others.

Why did it have to be Tom Cruise though?
