Thank you Netgalley and RB Media for this audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.
“Where is she?”
Brutes tells the sickly sweet tale of girlhood. How we are impacted and influenced by those around us and how that can quickly evolve into an obsession. It’s a dented up hazy dream of a novel shifting from past to present day in a way that took a second for me to grasp. It’s creepy and at times truly made my skin crawl. The writing and the story at hand reminds me of both The Virgin Suicides Jeffrey Eugenides and Godshot by Chelsea Bieker which are favorites of mine.
The book is visually stunning and really puts you side by side with the girls. Painting your nails the air thick with the scent of acetone, stomping through the foliage thick with the humid Florida air. It reminds you of bubble gum dreams with razor sharp edges. Bright cherry lip gloss with glimmers off the lake which houses the monster we are warned about. That all being said, it is a little tricky to navigate and you never 100% know what’s going on. I think that may be part of its genius though. I could see myself revisiting this book and in doing so gaining information I missed upon my first read. Would definitely recommend to a friend and look forward to Tate’s future books.
