This was such a chaotic book. I couldn't get passed the writing and the scenes were abrupt and disjointed. I'd get in a good flow for a minute but then something would come along and break it up.

The first half of the book was just detailing the hot mess she was while the second half was a random sasquatch baby.

I read a lot of random monster books and this just didn't do it for me. I wasn't a fan of the MFC and the leading MMC wasn't really much there to talk about.

Overall I had trouble finding the whole purpose of the book but I loved the last two paragraphs and as as a mom it resonated with me how she wanted to show her undying love for her child forever, and for that reason I rated 2 stars.

Definitely delivered on the weirdness!

I picked this one up because I enjoyed Men Going Mad. Sasquatch, Baby! is a much different book but more my style, doubling down on the bizarre. My favorite part was learning Tabitha's side of the story and slowly seeing it unravel as I got more information. It's a nice parallel to the character finally admitting the gravity her life choices to herself.

I would have liked to see more of Tabitha's struggle to accept that yeah, that is a sasquatch and yes, it is very interested in her. She pretty much immediately accepts all of this life-changing info. On that note, the life-changing part was odd. After meeting said sasquatch, she changes her entire worldview. I didn't really see why this encounter has shaken her belief system. There's some vague bit about sasquatch-nature telepathy or something along those lines. I know it's a silly book, but the /why/ is half the fun!

Thanks for the chance to read this book for free through BookSirens. I'm leaving this review of my own accord.
