A review by isabezza
Motherthing by Ainslie Hogarth

dark emotional funny mysterious fast-paced

5.0

I could NOT put this down. I am a sucker for weird books and this hit the spot - but definitely check the content warnings before you read! I have never experienced anything as extreme on paper. The language was captivating and our main character used totally unique hilarious metaphor to describe the world around her. The settings were cleverly manipulated into the central plot so everything had importance. The discussion of paranormal activity and mental health distress was totally activating - causing a lot of responses in my body and world (gasping, tearing up, chills.) Ultimately, I loved the pace, plot, and mind styles in this novel and would recommend to anyone brave enough!
