Ok, so Percival Everett‘s James may be the BEST book I will read this year, but McDowell‘s Katie could be my favorite. It has everything I could want in an entertainment: melodrama, romance, gore, humor, revenge. There‘s a boarding house of young women that reminds me of Stage Door, a Pride&Prejudice style romance, and of course, the psycho psychic Katie, terrifying in her brutality, stupidity, and love of blunt force trauma. Loved it. 🔨 🩸 💰
