A low pick. The POV is that of a child, where her mother is a cannibal who traps “strays” along the forest road near their secluded cabin, cooks them, and feeds them to her daughter. It‘s gross, it really is. But the saddest part is that young Margot longs for love and acceptance from her mother, and no matter what she does, she can never be as important as her mother‘s hunger. It‘s a good debut, but could be tighter, more solid, more emotive.
