Reviews

Moshfegh's stunning 2018 novel has a haunting ending... [and] relentlessly vicious humour.
*i*

This razor sharp satirical novel has achieved near mythical status... [a] compelling and clever take on a female character that isn't afraid to speak her mind
*Glamour*

Ottessa is one of our newest, most dazzling, daring and outrageous voices in literature
*Vogue*

Dark, but very funny… an interesting take on something like self care, and quite addicting
