I loved this book so much! I’ve seen people class it as both literary fiction and horror. I wasn’t expecting to feel so sad and empty when I finished it lol I would love to read more stuff that’s similar. Salt Slow by the same author is also good if you like short stories — it’s kind of in the same vein as Carmen Maria Machado and Mariana Enríquez

Yes I put Salt Slow on hold at the library right after I finished, lol. It seems right up my alley. And YES love that comparison to Carmen Maria Machado... If Wives were a short story, I could see it being similar. I haven't read Mariana Enriquez but I'll have to check her out.
