This was grotesque, visceral and inventive. The writing is raw, beautiful, evocative, and the imagery is so powerful. This is a collection about messy women, passionate, violent and often unlikable, and it's full of gore and speculative elements that allow the expression of things that women are sometimes not allowed to be be or feel. It explores puberty, motherhood, queerness, and so much more, and it does it in such an interesting way.
