This book was a trip.
I didn't quite enjoyed this book compared to her other works like bunny. The MC was a bit hard to root. Quite a passive character. Too much characters was introduced in this story and with the rambling storyline, can be hard to follow through the characters.
I Like the interaction between Belle and Hud.
I find the ending quite bittersweet.
Book have the suspiria vibe.
The book is a critique to the beauty/skincare industry but falls flat compared to another contemporary, 'natural beauty'. Recommended that book more for the beauty/aesthetic horror.
Anyway, Tom Cruise was mentioned a lot in this book. Be warn.
