Comfort Me with Apples

I almost feel bad rating this book 2/5 because the writing is phenomenal and the beginning of the story had me hopeful. The setting, characters and details gave me an eerie feeling and I thought I was going to be completely mind blown but the ending was a huge disappointment. I wish the author went a different route with this one because it could have easily been one of my favorite books of the year. If you're religious, specifically Christian, you'll enjoy this novella a lot more than I did. I could not get over the cheesy, ridiculous ending shrouded in support for the patriarchy

2.5, for the plot

90% of the book was overly descriptive, i forced myself not to dnf it because of the plot but damn it was not a pleasant experience

the reveal was very predictable, still i wanted to see how it would actually play out & was def expecting something better than what we got

i really liked the portayal of denial & how we lie to ourselves when confronted to traumatic situations, the switch that happened in her mind when she finally accepted reality

very unsatisfactory ending but i get it

très bonne idée une bible fiction like this mais ça garde un goût d'inachevé
