A creepy fever dream!!
It’s about Flora, an EXHAUSTED woman taking on motherhood on her own while her husband is deployed. As she’s really starting to lose her grip on things, her estranged mother, with whom she hasn’t talked to in four years, shows up to help her, and some very strange things ensue.
This was stressful!! 😂 I honestly thought things were gonna get like 100x more intense than what ended up happening, but this was still a really effective domestic thriller/horror-lite- it’s like The Push by Ashley Audrain with a supernatural twist. This book kinda felt like I was reading it underwater in a nightmare 😅 in that like, it’s SOOO fever-dreamy it was so hard to interpret what was real. And I loved that about it, but if you are someone who doesn’t like dream sequences, this is not for you.
Overall recommend- I thought a few character decisions/reactions/justifications were a bit odd at times, but yeah overall a really trippy and creepy read!!
