MonarchBy: Candice Wuehle "Candice Wuehle's irresistibly weird debut novel Monarch is the kind of book that you want to start reading again immediately after turning the last pagenot just to trace the conspiracy at its heart, but to appreciate how its kaleidoscope of beauty pageants, Y2K anxieties, famous dead girls, and deep state machinations synthesizes into an exploration of what makes up a self . . . Poetic, haunting."Kristen Martin, NPR After waking up
By: Candice Wuehle"Candice Wuehle's irresistibly weird debut novel Monarch is the kind of book that you want to start reading again immediately after turning the last page—not just to trace the conspiracy at its heart, but to appreciate how its kaleidoscope of beauty pageants, Y2K anxieties, famous dead girls, and deep state machinations synthesizes into an exploration of what makes up a self . . . Poetic, haunting."—Kristen Martin, NPR
After waking up with a strange taste in her mouth and mysterious bruises, former child pageant star Jessica Clink unwittingly begins an investigation into a nefarious deep state underworld. Equipped with the eccentric education of her father, Dr. Clink (a professor of Boredom Studies and the founder of an elite study group known as the Devil’s Workshop), Jessica uncovers a disquieting connection between her former life as a beauty queen and an offshoot of Project MKUltra known as MONARCH.
As Jessica moves closer to the truth, she begins to suspect the involvement of everyone around her, including her own mother, Grethe (a Norwegian pageant queen turned occult American wellness guru for suburban housewives). With the help of Christine (her black-lipsticked riot grrrl babysitter and confidante), Jessica sets out to take down Project MONARCH. More importantly, she must discover if her first love, fellow teen queen Veronica Marshall, was genuine or yet another deep state plant.
Merging iconic true crime stories of the ’90s (Lorena Bobbitt, Nicole Brown Simpson, and JonBenét Ramsey) with theories of human consciousness, folklore, and a perennial cultural fixation with dead girls, MONARCH questions the shadow sides of self-concept: Who are you if you don’t know yourself?

A Little Gold That Goes a Long Way
I carried this clutch to a wedding where my phone felt bigger than the dinner plate, and somehow everything fit. The woven finish looks classy without screaming for attention, and the gold tone works nicely with both bold and simple outfits. It feels light in hand but not flimsy, which is always a pleasant surprise. The size is just right for essentials like a phone, keys, and lipstick, though overpackers will need restraint. The closure stayed secure all night, even after some enthusiastic dancing. It is not meant for daily use, but for special events it does its job well. Stylish, practical, and easy to carry without stress.

A Textured and Spacious Clutch for Evening Events
Last week, I chose this black woven clutch to match my gown for a friend’s wedding dinner, its fine woven texture had a subtle sheen under the ballroom lights, complementing my velvet dress perfectly, and the gold clasp was elegant and opened smoothly, avoiding the embarrassment of jamming during social interactions. I fit my phone, touch-up powder, lipstick, and a bank card inside, and the space was just right without stretching the bag out of shape, while the top handle was thoughtful—holding it for long periods didn’t strain my hand, and it added a stylish touch when I carried it casually during the transition to the terrace for photos.

The latch is hard to secure but otherwise a decent purse
It is decently made and a with a luxurious design. It is a stiff purse so it will hold shape. There is enough room for a large phone and a few other items as well. The gold is a dark gold. I got this because I have some sandals in this color that I needed a purse to match. My only issue is that the latch on the string has a hard time inserting into the tube. On the positive side of that, it is extremely secure because of it. However, it is a struggle. I'm not sure if it's just this one purse or this color due to the material interfering or what.

Well Made and Chic
Color: Black
I never expected the craftsmanship of this bag to be so excellent! It's not cheap at all, but in my opinion, it can definitely compete with the genuine Boganoamo bag. The weaving is tight and complete. It feels heavy and the wine red color is bright and eye-catching! The packaging is also very exquisite, with a dust cover included. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase!
