Truth be told, I found Bunny to be a much better read but this was still something unique and sucked me right into the mystery. I am in absolute awe in Mona Awad's writing. I especially loved the commentary about the beauty industry's power over consumers like it's a damn cult and I'm now sitting here and embracing all my flaws because it could be worse. I could end up in a fever dream like Belle and almost not get out of it.
Graphic: Toxic relationship, Death of parent, and Grief
