Catherynne M. Valente (duplicate): Comfort Me with Apples (2021, Doherty Associates, LLC, Tom) 4 stars

Review of 'Comfort Me with Apples' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

COMFORT ME WITH APPLES is a story of trouble in paradise, when Sophia finds something out of place and begins to question everything she knows about her life. The worldbuilding is amazing, deftly layered through lists of community rules and the details of Sophia’s explorations. Sophia is a bit saccharine as a character, I prefer more of an edge to protagonists, but her sweetness is important to the plot and is used very well.  I love the ending, it ties things up neatly in a way that suits the story as a whole.
