It's eerie to read a book set in the 1980s, yet Israel is still bombing Lebanon as we speak in September 2024.

I was skeptical for the first 100 pages, but then I devoured it. It was outrageous in the beat way.

I didn't think AH was for me, but I was charmed by the 98% longing, 120% friends and family vibe of this book.

It was enjoyable, but I kept comparing it to Jawbone. That book has set the bar in terms of twisted, cultish teenage girl horror, so maybe read Penance first.

Grudova does weird, dark female characters and gross stuff better than Otessa Moshfegh could dream of.
