- It took me a bit to sink into the world of SMOTHERMOSS, but once I was there I was rapt.
- Alering has built a world where the lines between reality, imagination, and the supernatural get increasingly blurred, drawing the reader further and further into Sheila and Angie’s bubble of a life.
- Not everything was explained neatly, but it all made sense within the structure of the story, which is a feat in this type of fever dream book.
- I read the audiobook, and narrator Susan Bennett nailed the regional accent. I have family in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and listening to this book was like talking to older folks from the area.
