i can’t say enough about this book. the beginning was slow and i wasn’t sure that i was in love with the author’s writing style, but the more i progressed, the more i became obsessed. the author managed to weave so many serious societal issues into a plot considered to be satirical horror and balanced both perfectly. this is the type of book that really makes you think about how obsessed society has become with beauty and how other issues (i.e., misogyny, classism) are impacted by it. 5-7 business days aren’t nearly enough for me to process what i read
