Comfort Me with Apples
by Catherynne M. Valente
Bluebeard meets the story of Adam and Eve and the Apple. Sophia was made for her husband. She lives in Arcadia Gardens where everything is perfect and she is happy. Everyone always asks her if she is happy. She is happy.... until... she finds a lock of hair that is not hers in a drawer, a bone in the knife board.... and soon so many other things. Soon she discovers that her husband is hiding many secrets and that her home in Arcadia Gardens is not as perfect as she had thought... and that maybe she is not happy.

Spoiler
Sophia essentially finds bodyparts of previous wives of her husband, who is named Adam, and she meets a snake who offers her an apple... and the best part? the previous wife Lilith escaped (go Lilith) the ending was sad since Sophia essentially dies for Eve to be born next. I hated Adam, and Sophia questioning why God would continue to allow Adam to make new wives while killing off the wives and keeping their bodyparts, why if God made both Adam and Sophia, only Adam gets to continue to do this and Sophia and the other wives have had to suffer. In the end Adam gets away with it again and onto another wife. Rip*Thanks Netgalley and Macmillan-Tor/Forge for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*
