This is definitely an interesting book. I found the writing too flowery, but it does keep the story very surface-level, much like the desired beauty in the book. I loved the gore and body horror.

Oh boy this one was fun!! It‘s dark! Creepy! And somewhat prescient! I loved it! It‘s an absurd love letter to the beauty industry! The lengths people will go to remain young looking! It‘s short! It‘s funny! Its dark humor will make you squeal with delight!
Sophia is convinced to try this youth enhancing moisturizer and finds herself addicted! What‘s Youth Juice‘s secret ingredient? Does she care? LOL Great audio!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3
Is “beauty-horror” a sub-genre? This was an entertaining audio but not particularly memorable, since I read this several books ago and forgot to review it, I can confirm this.
Beauty obsessed women at a beauty company (goop-like?) are desperately seeking the next treatment to keep them looking youthful. How do they manage it? And what‘s up with all the interns coming and going?
Omggggg this book was a ride. A little mystery, a little suspense, a little gore, and a realistic world that I could easily visualize. Still gives me the heebie jeebies
Some tropes just work for me, and one is the dark and menacing start up. I enjoyed this horror title about a Glossier-type company that will go to any lengths to develop their newest product—youthjuice. There were darkly funny Weekend At Bernie‘s-type scenes that worked for me, too. Loved that movie when I was a kid!
