The Catch by Yrsa Daley-Ward
2.75

My rating rests entirely on the fact that I was perplexed enough to finish reading it plus the portrayal of abandonment and far reaching consequences of childhood trauma.

Very unsure how to feel about the prose and the character work. I could kind of see what the author what trying to achieve and yes, maybe the convoluted nature of the story was intentionally done to make it more of a mind fuck but I’m still not sure what to make of it in it’s entirety.

This is how I felt when i read Mona Awad’s Bunny. I don’t like that feeling. It feels like I was bamboozled into a psychedelic trip.
