Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente
2.0
dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I went into this expecting a little stepford wives horror and instead I got
an Adam and Eve retelling that felt kind of sexist.


Not a big fan of this. I thought it had potential and mid-way through I was bored and felt no "horror." Also I didn't care at all for our main character Sophie which makes it hard to connect with the story.
