Reviews with content warning for Incest - Follow Me to Ground

Compelling read, but not super “sticky” - I feel like the depth isn’t there, or is too obfuscated for me to get. I did enjoy the prose, which was quite beautiful and challenging.

the style this book was written in is great and really fits the time and setting for the story. the weird healing magic was unique and fascinating to read about. the protagonist is (purposely) unlikable and you quickly realize not to trust her POV as it becomes apparent with each passing page that this girl is not quite right in the head. however… the protagonist was so unreliable a narrator and the author left the ending so ambiguous that by the final page i still wasn’t even sure which terrible thing was supposed to have happened. was it one, or the other? was it both??? i don’t know, and i’m not convinced the author knows either.

Idk why i thought this was YA, it is most definitely not YA. Don’t really know how to describe this book. It’s gory but sensual at the same time?? Like iv never read body horror written so beautifully. Its eco-horror meets unhinged female narrative meets magical realism ?? I feel like wattpad girlies who like magical realism would love this? Idk but it was very captivating. Disappointed it was so short cuz I have many unanswered questions & I need to know the actual plot miss author had in mind cuz my theories feel wildly incorrect. V bizzare and v surreal.

if anyone out there has read this, were samson and olivia brother and sister or not?? 😭 were they siblings who lied to their son or were they lovers having an affair that lied to ada by saying they were siblings ??
