What an incredible,  thought-provoking,  and horrific novel. The writing and narrator had me completely sucked in. For this to be a debut novel!? I can't wait to see what this author writes next.

She's immediately an auto-buy for me now.

This won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the commentary around identity,  beauty standards, and the lengths we go to be seen will stick with me for a long time.
