I was so excited to get to read this book, indeed it was truly everything I expected. The mix of mystery and bleak, exstisential horror is unlike any other book I have read in a while.

Given the current issues in the world, specifically the U.S., this book stands as a streak answer to what happens when one does not wish to be a mother, and even more, what motherhood means for those ready or not.

It dives head-first into a small community where ideals are reflected across everyone--there is simply no room for the outside world. This echo chamber slowly breaks apart due o the creeping dread of being a mother, being doomed to vanish. You will love this book if you like cults, mystery, and suspense.

This novel is heart-breaking and awakening. It is truly inspired by the Lottery, shown in its excellent tension. The characters are so well written you will find yourself lost in the pages before you could vanish.
