It’s been a long time since I read a book that kept me engaged, entertained and anxious the whole time. I was reading fast to get to the end because I was so excited to see how it finishes.

This story touches upon a lot of topics- female friendships, fragile masculinity, sexism in the household, but at the end of the day it’s a fun story about a book club taking down a monster.

I have not felt so much anxiety until I read the scene
with the cockroach going into Patricia’s ear. Big yikes!!

I’d recommend this to folks who like monster hunter, mystery, female forward stories!
