"Described as 'Snow White meets Eyes Wide Shut,' Rouge is a horror-tinted gothic fairy tale about a lonely dress shop clerk whose mother’s unexpected death sends her down a treacherous path in pursuit of youth and beauty. Set in California, the story explores the cult-like nature of the beauty industry — as well as 'the danger of internalizing its pitiless gaze.' Set to be published in September this year by Simon & Schuster/Marysue Rucci Books, Rouge is the latest novel from [Mona] Awad, behind All’s Well, 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl and Bunny, which was listed among the best book of 2019 by Time, Vogue and the New York Public Library."
