I’m calling all of this spoilers because it’s just key words and phrases to help me remember this one until I write my real review
Dual pov, mother/daughter, now/then.
Generational trauma, strained relationships, gross men, dogs/wolves, Jazzland. Poor Caroline. What a life. Fucked up art that I’m obsessed with. Lila, just trying to live her life.
The Cur was actual a bunch of dog/human hybrids who kill girls to sustain themselves. They start by getting in their heads and making them obedient and then they um on them to their deaths. Caroline escaped and then they target her daughter. She sacrifices herself in a way she couldn’t do when it was Beth. It was atonement, as well as a mother’s love. Her whole adult life leading up to that. Also FUCK her ex. What a douche. Glad he gets better once Lila is grown. Caroline’s doctor was one of the dog people. Fucked up.
