"This was so fun, I have nothing else to say!"

Lauren Dobie wants to read Bride (Bride, #1)

"as long as julia armfield writes spooky gay literary horror, i will be reading.

most of this is not a horror novel, except in the way that daily life in the modern sense is horrifying: the creeping intensity of climate change, the constant witnessing of tragedies and then going on with your life, the futility of either working to make things better or working to make them stay the same.

but that's pretty spooky in and of itself!

i think this book could have done a better job of carrying through the eerieness it was aiming to convey, and of making these three sisters and their dynamic more full or shifting or interesting.

but for some reason, i did find this book, in which little to nothing happens for most if not all of the book, borderline unputdownable.

hate the ending, though.

bottom line: not what i wanted it to be or thought it would be or knew its genre to be and yet i still liked it.

(thanks to the publisher for the e-arc)"
