I see a lot of reviews on this book harping about the perverted, disturbing nature of the characters, and I can safely say that those individuals missed the point. For me, Homesick was a love letter to the horrifying depths of human nature. It’s a PSA that demands we become comfortable with the uncomfortable. It begs us to reconsider what we’ve deemed good and bad. And, in my opinion, it’s a top notch read. It’s not for everyone, but if you (like me) find yourself obsessed with the human condition, you’ll love it. It was my first Moshfegh and I can’t wait to read more.
