Because WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST READ???
Don't get me wrong–it was a very good read. I read it today on audiobook. I was hooked immediately when I started reading. The writing was stunning. The world-building was super unsettling. While reading, it reminded me of the vibes of two movies: Mother and Don't Worry Darling. At first, I thought I was reading something more like Stepford Wives. Then, eventually, it turned out to be surprisingly biblical. And those last five minutes…
I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but I hope people who have read Comfort Me with Apples will know what I'm getting at. This book was so close to a 5 star, but I wish the author added at least 100 more pages. It could've built up the suspense, leading to a more satisfying reveal of the truth. And more opportunity for more creepy scenarios. But I need to talk to people about this little book. Because I'm going to be thinking about this one for a while.
