I loved this novel. A poetic yet feral ode to girlhood, witchcraft, pop stardom, art as a devotional practice and what happens when one's creative fire become objectified, commodified, all topics too often framed as frivolous, simply because they per ...more

A masterpiece and a master class in human emotion, character development and how plot puts pressure on character to reveal their truest selves. I have never read a novel like WHIDBEY. Never read anything–fiction or non–so honest, brutal, unflinching, ...more

Quotes by Allie Rowbottom  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“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;”
Allie Rowbottom, Aesthetica

“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.”
Allie Rowbottom, Aesthetica

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