Thanks to Scribner Books for the free advance copy of this book.
📚 Whew, this is one of those books that's hard to read and yet impossible to put down.
📚 I feel like I could spend forever unpacking the many layers of power and control and submission in this book and all the ways we encounter those forces - food, family, sex, religion, and more.
📚 Okay, I really thought I could write a coherent review for this book but I can't. It's strange and wonderful, dreamlike and horribly realistic, beautiful and gross, comforting and terrifying. I can't wait to read more of Broder's work.
