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 ??

Wow. My first thought after finishing Follow Me to Ground was, what on earth was Sue Rainford going through when she wrote this? My second thought was, holy crap this got dark fast. 

If you enjoy dark realism thrillers this is a must read!
