Welcome to Litsy!

Whew… this is an intense read! I finished it in just about one sitting but I‘m not sure I could say that it was exactly fun… And definitely not a read for anyone who is already squeamish or scared of hospitals! Narrator Meg checks herself into the hospital for a prolonged stay to participate in an experimental treatment for her rare autoimmune disorder. Body horror in a hospital setting makes this unsettling & unforgettable— but not for all!

⭐️⭐️THE GRACEVIEW PATIENT BY CAITLIN STARLING⭐️⭐️

⭐️QUICK THOUGHTS⭐️

⭐️It is a bit monotonous. But it is creepy enough to keep you going.

⭐️ And then it gets weird. Weird enough that you want to know what the crap is going on.

While 'The Graceview Patient' isn't my favorite book by Starling, it still creates chills in the reader. Meg has been accepted into the medical trial for her rare disease. She soon finds out things are not what they seem in the hospital. Most of the action takes place from Meg's POV in her hospital room. There's quite a bit of body horror, so this book isn't for the faint of heart. 4 stars.

Thank you #Netgalley! I was just approved for this #ARC.
I am always excited for a new Starling book. Thankfully this one had a Send-to-Kobo option as well.
It almost makes up for me being rejected for the Tim Curry memoir (I‘d rather get that on audiobook anyway 😁).

A woman enters a hospital for an experimental treatment for a rare disease. The treatment is expected to take months, and as it progresses, she experiences disorientation, hallucinations, and paranoia. This is written from the patient's point of view so the reader doesn't have any more information than the patient. The ending is definitely confusing. At that point, we don't trust the patient's thoughts at all so who knows how this ended.
