While Rouge didn't excite me as much as Bunny did, Awad really scratches that itch I have for books that make me ask, "what the heck is going on?" It wasn't anything remarkable, but I still loved reading it. I'll be reading all the novels Awad releases, who, as far as I'm concerned, is in the pantheon of literary cool girls because she just writes really cool stuff, and Rouge is no exception.
