Carrying by Samantha Josephs
So many WTF and unhinged moments. I had to take breaks reading it, but at the same time, I felt like I hurried back to it each time. Kinda left me staring at a wall after each reading session and it is hard to find words to describe how I feel. 😂 Thought I would share.
From story graph:
"Martha is a trans woman and the picture-perfect Los Angeles housewife, though she is concealing her identity even from her own husband. When she is struck down by a mysterious illness, she begins a series of bizarre experimental treatments that awaken strange new appetites in her and even leave her seemingly – impossibly – pregnant. Equal parts inventive, funny and compulsive, Carrying mixes the sensational body horror of The Substance with the transgressive camp comedy of John Waters in a style that’s all its own, and announces the arrival of a thrilling new talent in fiction."
