I have to admit that this has left me a little bit confused. The book's quite original, but quite nightmarish as well. Not in the sense that it has jump scares or scenes that could raise the hair on the back of your neck, but mainly on account of its oddness. It's alien and alienating at the same time. I couldn't understand the central character, to say nothing of her final accomplishment and completed art. Overall, the story has a lot to do with feminism and women empowerment, but all in a bizarre fashion that raises quite a few question marks in regard to violence, child and animal abuse, among other things. It is natural for animal to behave like animals, for example, but it's a quite different story for people to behave like animals. And I get it, on a metaphorical level, this might serve the purpose of discussing social norms, sexism, and gender roles, but it still doesn't justify the questionable behavioral pattern of "Nightbitch"3 x ⭐ because I really wanted to get to the end and understand what was going on, but found nothing substantial there after all.

SpoilerReally captures the tedium of looking after small children. But reading about tedium is close to re-living it, and while you needed the description of her days to understand her motivations, I did want to skip over these bits to get to more of the dog stuff.

I didn't really know what to expect going into this, but I found it really engaging, evocative, dynamic, and, above all, weird. I was surprised at how feral this book was. Like I know, I read the premise. But I thought the forward propulsion and increase of violence as we barreled toward the conclusion was beautifully done.content warning for graphic animal death btw
