“It has nothing to do with the idea of us becoming dogs, and everything to do with the fact of us being girls.”

Reads like a combination of The Crucible, The Plague by Albert Camus, and the film The VVitch. Eerie yet poignant and full of allegory - absolutely amazing for a debut novel!

Slow at times, but in a way that builds anticipation and describes each scene in rich color.
