Rouge by Mona Awad is under the category of Gothic, Thriller, Suspense, Adult, Fiction, and Mystery. The book starts off with a young skincare obsessed woman named Mirabelle. Mirabelle also known as “belle” has to return to her childhood home in San Diego because of the results of her mothers sudden death. During Mirabelle’s visit back home she faces her complicated relationship with her mother and faces several strange individuals. Her original task to clean out her mothers home quickly takes a turn to finding out how her mother died and her connection to the mysterious people she encounters along the way. Rouge connects the complicated mother-daughter relationships and overall is a very dark, twisted, strange to even more stranger cult based novel. During this novel I was addicted to how Mirabelle’s thinking process progressed throughout the book and wanting to unravel her childhood. I would overall give “Rouge” by Mona Awad a total of 4 stars.
