rld1727 's review for:
Nightbitch
by Rachel Yoder
Loved it. Magical realism is hit or miss for me, and meditations on motherhood are not usually my jam, but something about this one was very gripping. I also really enjoyed the author’s writing style. Kind of reminded me of Mona Awad in its descent into more and more surreal moments.
Content note: There is one violent animal death that is pretty specifically described, but it was relatively brief (I can be pretty soft-hearted about that kind of thing, but this was pretty short…was definitely cringing while reading but by the time I was like “maybe I’ll skim?” it was over). It also didn’t feel gratuitous, and was sort of an integral moment for part of the plot, which helped.
