Cut & Thirst: A Short Story
by Margaret Atwood
*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
In CUT & THIRST, three former professors scheme on the best way to exact revenge over drinks and cheese. Every Thursday, Myrna, Leonie, and Chrissy reminisce on the years of their youth– but the most popular topic is the best way to avenge their dear friend, Fern, and the unprovoked attack on her writing career years ago. Murder is thrown around, as well a hit-and-runs, tire slashing, and the classic poison mushroom usage– however, revenge isn’t always straightforward.
As many other reviewers have mentioned, this short story felt like a small part of a larger story. Important and contextual details were introduced late in the text, which made enjoying the scheming a little difficult as the reader. This was a fun short story, but unfortunately not my favorite by the beloved Margaret Atwood.
