veelaughtland 's review for:

The Beauty by Aliya Whiteley

2.0

---

This just wasn't for me. The world is a bizarre one, and it's really interesting as a kind of isolated event, but there wasn't enough world building for me to fully immerse myself. Granted, it was only 99 pages, but I still would have liked a little more information on why the women were gone. But instead, I just got a weird novella about men having sex with mushroom ladies, and it was just all a bit gross.
