Nothing happens for 300 pages and then there's too much action, yet somehow I am still looking for the catharsis.

The story wasn't that terrible, and I guess I have a rough idea of what kind of message the author wishes to convey through this book. At least it captured my interest to read until the last page of the book. The particular thing I couldn't accept was the confusing writing style. I'm all right that none of the characters is worth being liked. I felt the execution is a failure that steers the readers away from the story.
Book Review: Animal by Lisa Taddeo.

The audiobook narrated by Emma Roberts is just *chefs kiss*. She did an amazing job, and her voice was perfect for this character.
The book itself is an exploration of female trauma, rage, and mental illness. I can't say I like Joan, but I don't hate her either. Check CW!
