The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean

dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

2.0

This book is exceptionally bleak for a novel described on the inside cover as “darkly sweet.” It’s an A Handmaid’s Tale-esque horror story in a world where people eat books. The world building is confusing and the themes and plot points exceptionally dark and violent. This book is hugely, intensely focused on motherhood and fertility.
