Why You’ll Love This Book

Harrison uses the werewolf myth as a metaphor for reclaiming a body scarred by past trauma. After Rory is bitten following a car wreck, her physical transformation mirrors the messy, often painful process of coming to terms with her own history and the protective rage she feels for her twin sister. It is a sharp, darkly comedic study of self-actualization through a supernatural lens, proving that sometimes the only way to heal from the monsters of the past is to become something even more formidable.
