What this book is about
Rory moves back to her hometown when her twin sister Scarlett announces she is pregnant. On the first night, Rory is bitten by something in the woods. What follows is a horror novel about two parallel transformations — a body becoming something other than itself — told with sharp humor, genuine warmth, and a feminist lens that uses the werewolf as a metaphor for the ways women lose control of their own bodies. Rachel Harrison's novel is funny, scary, and deeply interested in what it means to be a woman in a body that the world has opinions about.
