Just like Angelina, Lobster has my whole heart. Most likely, going to be a 5 star for me. I don't feel like I can do my full review until I finish the re-read of this because the amount of symbolism in this book is ASTOUNDING and I need time to work through it all to wrap my brain around it.

As with any absurdist book, this will not be everyone's meal of choice. But I LOVED the commentary on death, religion, the expectations that society puts on us, and so much more. I DEVOURED Lobster and immediately started my second helping. Getting to discuss all of this in the forum only made this experience richer for me.

I'll come back to edit this review once I finish my re-read, but I wanted to make sure I do my thank yous now so I don't forget!

My thanks to @Sharky_97 for starting the cult and introducing me to the Lobster love of my life, the random eBay store who sold me a "used" copy of Lobster that had definitely NEVER been read before, and to myself for spending cold, hard, cash on a very absurd book on full faith in the Pagebound community's affection for it. We are all the real MVPs here hahah

😭

You're gonna want to prepare yourself mentally for this one because it's rough going. Tiny wrecking ball of a novella. So many unique perspectives. Wish there was a way to make every bully or former bully read this one.
