Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this a lot more than Nothing but Blackened Teeth and The Salt Grows Heavy. This truly felt like a fever dream. Alessa was the perfect unreliable narrator. I really enjoyed the non-linear storytelling, but it was jarring at first. This book feels like how the word squelch sounds; it's gross and weird and filled with righteous rage. I don’t want to give too much away, but the political commentary and themes are explained with such nuance that they don’t feel like force fed morals. I truly enjoyed this.
