“Girls—normal human girls—people could contend with; they were weak and small. And dogs too could be trained. But girls who became dogs, or who let the world believe they were dogs, were either powerful or mad: both monstrous possibilities.”

“If The Virgin Suicides and The Crucible birthed a pitch perfect gothic novel. The plotting is sharp, the characters rich, and the flashes of female-directed rage are spine-tinglingly apt. I’ve handed this book out to friends like a party favor, it’s just that delicious. Stomp the floor, ring the bell! This should be your next read.”

“I listened to the audiobook of this and really enjoyed it! It's similar in atmosphere and theme to The Virgin Suicides, as well as in the fact that the story revolves around a community's fixation on a group of siblings whose perspectives we never see directly.”
