Twin sisters Scarlett & Rory are both dealing with their bodies changing. With Scarlett, it's the later months of pregnancy. For Rory, it's in the aftermath of her mysterious attack bringing on strange cravings, a change in smell, and some horrific body horror elements. Not to mention a fuck ton of trauma. It's not just the werewolf wounds Rory has to deal with, being back in her hometown also brings past familial & sexual abuse trauma.
Yet, despite the heavy topics and body horror, the author also brings in elements of humor and even a little romance that gels well with the story and gives a nice respite at times. I already have plans to pick more of their work because I enjoyed this so much and I foresee myself re-reading this again in the future.
