I have not yet read Rouge, so I am not going to watch the linked interview until I do; however I thought some might find the hour long conversation between Awad & Catriona Ward interesting:

pickReread this for the first time in ages the other day. I still enjoyed reading it. I got through it pretty fast too
pickThis one feels similar to Mona Awad's Rouge but with less focus on grief and more on how privilege and racism inform beauty standards and how wealth can take a reasonable idea to an unreasonable extreme. I enjoyed the novel, but the story feels a little young, like it's lacking a layer of meaning that life experience might give it. Or maybe that was part of the point.
I did not know what `Glow Up' meant until I read this story

bailedI think this author just isn‘t for me because I‘ve bailed on both books I‘ve tried. Oh well. #LitsyTOB24
so-soI probably should have “Panned” this, but it had me intrigued for a while. I became less and less enamored and felt the ending meandered around, trying to find its way. You warned me, @BarbaraBB !
