wouldn't say i adored this book but it was a good ride. i liked the commentary on the beauty industry & materialism & self-worth but thought it was pretty surface level; the highlight of the book was honestly the mc exploring her relationships with her parents (and the grief that came with those) and music. the writing was really lovely, with a sort of disconnected floaty tone that i enjoyed, but i don't think the horror elements were used to their full potential. it goes from 0 to 100 in the last quarter and the body horror is gross but lasts approximately three seconds. overall, i'm glad i read this at all but it was meh. so.
