Super freaking cute found family story, but the low stakes and the lack of depth made it a slow read for me.
The initial idea is great. Much like the <i>Lucifer</i> TV show, our protagonist wakes up with a devilish ability (and horns) to make people confess their truest feelings.
Then it veers into a backstory that has paragraph upon paragraph about female virginity that made me a little nauseous, and was boring to boot.
Giving up at 29%.

A brilliant thriller with all the beautiful writing of literary fiction. I watched the show a few years ago, yet even knowing the ending, I was still invested every step of the way.

All of the creeping existential dread of <i>House of Leaves</i> and <i>Annihilation</i> but with none of the irritating ambiguity! Also it's surprisingly funny.
I tried so hard. Made it 178 pages but I'm giving up.

I genuinely laughed out loud at some points, and cringed so hard I hurt my face at others.
I only made it 30 minutes into the audio. Unbearably sexist and racist.

I also think the teacher behaved extremely inappropriately, and it made me feel gross that the overwhelming message is that Allegra did something wrong.
