5 stars! Satirical horror at its finest. With themes such as feminism, the male gaze, sexism, misogyny, beauty standards, conformity and the patriarchy, there was a lot to unpack in this short read. It highlights the ways in which woman are oppressed and expected to conform to societal expectations through the role of the housewife.
