Mothtown by Caroline Hardaker
5.0
First off, many thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this book as an audio ARC! I greatly appreciate it!
This book was weird, and I mean that in the best way possible. David is a supremely unreliable narrator, which is always a fun thing to have in a book. The writing is beautiful, especially when David's ruminating on his grief over his grandfather, and having lost a beloved grandfather myself, I nearly cried a few times. It's beautifully described. Everything is beautifully described, including the body horror, which is a really hard thing to portray in an effective way.
My only complaint is that I wasn't fond of the weird fourth wall breaks, but I didn't dislike them enough to cost this book a star.
I give Mothtown five stars out of five!
