connormills93 's review for:

Lili Is Crying by Hélène Bessette
4.0
dark funny tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A little slice of camp and witty writing this was definitely a fun read.

Bassette uses some really fun and imaginative wordplay throughout the different acts which adds a certain flair to style. On the surface a tale about an extremely unhealthy mother-daughter bond yet were intentionally kept in a state of confusion about age, setting and intention that really helps add a sinister tone to the book that I found had me lapping up the pages for more.

Charlotte’s character was really quite something special and I found myself racing through her rants wanting more and more, the absolute unhinged sass dripping off the page.
