I picked this up on a whim at the library, and I'm glad I did! It was a bit slow to start, but I appreciated the slow build once the plot began to pick up. This book had me on the edge of my seat towards the end until it didn't. In my opinion, the ending left a lot to be desired. Not in an "I can't understand metaphor or can't find beauty in uncertain endings" way, but in an "okay, you're going to drag us all this way for THAT to be the ending" way. This book does make me want to read more feminist/queer horror, and I'll keep an eye out for any other books Gish writes.
