A debut novel following a young woman who takes a job at an all-girls boarding school in a small coastal town to teach English literature-and to try, desperately, to escape the trap that is herself.
Aptly named ... Captures the stagnation and confusion of one’s late twenties in excruciating detail ... Delves into uncomfortable bodily observations and intrusive thoughts as her narrator creates a vivid and unreliable version of her own reality, all while sifting through familial and personal trauma.
A deranged satire about the culture of trauma ... Full of physiological oversharing and perfunctory references to political sensitivities. Sharp writes that which is normally left unwritten and some may find the shock factor overwhelming. Others will find it refreshingly honest.
