A review by saint_eleanor
Rouge by Mona Awad

challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes

4.0

I loved this book its so signature Mona Awad, extremely magical realism and weird. I loved the themes of youth and race and how personal it seemed and the subplot was sooooo rich. I feel like this would make such an insane movie like it really reminded me of Suspiria or other older cult classics, i love the occult combined with modern internet fads i found it so interesting. There are a couple points still lost on me but this is a late review and tbh i may have forgotten, but the man in the mirror stuff i need some clarification on. Though i have theories!!
