Why read it?
1 author picked Someone You Can Build a Nest In as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Is it wrong to feel cozy while people are being digested by a monster? And yet. Shesheshen is a terrifying blob monster that has to eat and absorb people to use their bones to walk and talk.
She falls in love! Awww. She wants to lay her eggs in her love so they can feast on her beloved’s entrails. Ewww. This is straight-up horror. But it's somehow also funny and clever and heart-warming, even with all the murder.
I wanted to spend more time with Shesheshen, even though she probably would take the compliment by eating me for my shinbones.
From Caitlin's list on make you laugh and punch you in the feels.
