Death Becomes Her meets Goop.
I had a fun time reading this, but I'm not entirely sure that it did what it set out to do. The present-day story was fun and the writing held my interest, though the horror was pretty light for something that is described as a horror novel. The split timelines didn't really add anything for me. I didn't see what purpose the flashbacks served, since they didn't really clarify anything about our protagonists character, nor were any of her issues really resolved by the end of the book. Overall enjoyable but forgettable.
Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for the ARC :)
