A sweet sapphic romance takes a deadly dark turn in this sharp-as-a-knife novella with the slow build menace of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber—from a New York Times-bestselling author hailed by Chuck Wendig as "a storyteller working at the top of her class.” Rosemary meets Ash at the farmers’ market. Ash—precise, pretty, and practically perfect—sells bars of soap in delicate pastel colors, sprinkle-spackled cupcakes stacked on scalloped stands, beeswax candles, jelly jars of honey, and glossy green plants. Ro has never felt this way about another woman; with Ash, she wants to be her and have her in equal measure. But as her obsession with Ash consumes her, she may find she’s not the one doing the devouring… Told in lush, delectable prose, this is a deliciously dark tale of passion taking an unsavory turn...

I enjoyed this book way too much for my own good! It was very short, only 200 pages or so. And it was like a very lyrically written cross between Silence of the Lambs, and the Blue Beard fairy tale. Very enjoyable! Very dark!

"Maybe she's thinking about the same thing James Joyce and his wife used to think about...minus all the farting, because James Joyce was a weird little dude."

Ha! I love this reference. If you are ever bored (or weirdly curious) go read the love letters James Joyce wrote to his wife, Nora! Be prepared for some weirdness though that you will not soon forget! ??
