I kind of liked it but I also kind of hated it. I think fans of Nightbitch would be into this because it has the same cringe-level of "now was that really necessary?" as our MC talks about her transformation. But that cringe level is made worse by the fact that it's a teenager who truly doesn't seem to know anything about the world, and yet is condescending towards the entire human race. The writing was certainly intriguing and I did find it beautiful at times, but the pacing also dragged significantly. A 250 page book has never felt longer. Overall I'm glad I stuck with it because I'm in the mood for a good weird book lately, and while this was very weird, it didn't properly scratch that itch.
Graphic: Body horror
Minor: Sexual assault
