"Such a great, compulsive read! I lost sleep staying up to finish this one. The setting, the writing, the characters, the societal commentary—everything worked for me. No notes!
This was a June BOTM add-on, and I’m so glad it was offered. I’m not sure " Read more of this review » |

"Wow. Deliciously camp without being exploitative. This is about way more than the porn industry: this is a story about regret and ageing and reconciliation with the past. Knots in my stomach."

“Maybe she’s a natural beauty, an untouched beauty. The sales pitch for every powder, cream, procedure. But there’s always a consequence, some side effect that keeps away the promised miracle. Acne from pore-clogging foundation. Asymmetry from filler injected willy-nilly. Body dysmorphia from the asymmetry caused by the filler, which even when dissolved leaves your skin stretched out and floppy. It’s the same with pills: Vicodin cuts the pain, but then you can’t shit;”

“I had the privileges attached to health and youth and whiteness. And a wide open something I mistook for beauty. I imagine it now as an invisible mark, an absence where a father went, a fear of who I’d be without a mother. She had always been sick, and even when I pushed her away, even as I tried to be different, I knew to fear her loss. I am responsible; I am not at fault.”

“Natural is better than prosthetic. Natural is moral. Natural connotes a certain kind of woman, a peaceful wise-woman, a woman like my mother.”
