A weird fever dream/nightmare about one woman’s decent into a cultish spa after her mother dies.  It’s weird, it has a lot of trigger warnings, but I think Mona Awad does a great job of handing the topics well, with sympathy to her characters. It’s beautiful, the prose changes with the different states of mind Belle goes through.
