Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente
3.0
A good read to fill an afternoon. Not a masterpiece but enjoyable enough.
I am not sure if the biblical theme was supposed to be a big reveal (I'm basing this on the husband's introduction at the end) but if it was, it was very thinly veiled.
The strongest point of this book for me was the length. Kudos to the writer or the editor. It was easy to head into this book knowing it won't take much of my day.
The weakest point is the moral of the story, or rather, the way it was delivered. No nuance, no subtlety. I wish they didn't spell everything out in the end.
