Great horror if you like body horror and sci-fi horror. Gave me the willies and reminded me how much and why I'm scared of worms. The ending was a little cliffhanger-y because it was left with a character having a bit of mystery or open endedness that you could go a few ways with especially with what one other character says before the ending and if you know parasite relationship styles. The boys were interesting, with one being so infuriating and awful (slight spoiler -didn't feel bad at all for that character when things folded the way they did with him). The story was gross and engrossing with me wanting to read more and more while being absolutely disgusted and creeped out. Had to shake myself out a few times while reading because I was so creeped/grossed out. I was also really sad about what happened to one of the boys in particular. He deserved so much better.
Would be willing to read more from this author.

Holy shit this was good. I've loved everything Tiffany D Jackson has written and finally got around to reading her debut novel. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors I think.
Def a book on heavy topics and the ending was not what I was expecting (in an interesting way). Mary and her mother are complex people and following Mary kept me invested. I needed to know what would happen.

The narrator does a great job, and the story overall was good. I didn't love it, but it kept my interest and kept me wanting to finish through the end.

This was really good. Trippy, mysterious, dark, weird, with some horror. Outer beauty really isn't everything. I loved how this book took on beauty/wellness and the obsession people have with it.
