Monarch by Candice Wuehle

4.0

I thought this would be more fun than good but it’s actually pretty great, if a touch pretentious. An unhinged, pop-heady blend of beauty pageant culture, 90s true crime touchstones, spy thrillers, MKUltra-style mind control, folklore and fairy tale logic, and a study of the nature of the self.
