my brain hurts

this book is an intimate character study of a really lonely & sad woman as she tries to navigate living in an unfulfilling marriage. elodie, our protagonist, becomes obsessed with this seemingly perfect couple who have just moved into town. ‘cursed bread’ is primarily a dark look into the mind of a woman who's consumed with this desire to be someone else. it's an exploration of obsession & hysteria, more than anything

it's written in an almost a stream of consciousness style, kinda like a meandering spiral of thoughts and feelings. this style of writing is usually very hit or miss for me, but it reallly worked in here

analysing the complexity of marriage & relationships from a female lens, 'cursed bread' is erotic and seductive but also so emotional and raw. it gets really unhinged towards the end, i still don't know what happened but i liked the vibes, lol
