And In Her Smile, the World by Rebecca J. Allred, Gordon B. White
dark
mysterious
reflective
tense
4.0
no but the scariest thing about this novella is the reality that "nice guys" like jeffrey exists ðŸ˜
not huge on cosmic horror, but this was GREAT! loved the cult / religious aspects that had a, if i could even say, major feminist twist to them. i was invested the whole time, and wish the novella was longer just so we get more backstory on the cult of creation and the goddess amen who god stole from. no lie, i LOVED that part. the best thing about this book for me, however, is the reality of each metaphor. men are trash, that's for sure. and as women, and even young girls, we have to live with these grown assholes always telling us to "smile." if only we could use those smiles as a weapon (i did, at one point).
man, this was a trip and a half.
