    Summary: 
    "Snow White meets Eyes Wide Shut in this ruthlessly wicked gothic fairy tale about the worship of beauty and its perils -- and the cost of ignoring our grief. Isabelle Nour -- or Belle, as her beauty-obsessed mother Noelle liked to call her -- is back in La Jolla, California for the first time in years. Her reason for returning is not as sunny as the locale suggests: she's been beckoned back for her mother's funeral. As Belle begins emptying her mother's house to sell the property, she stumbles upon boxes of her childhood things. She finds her old diary that details surreal and long-forgotten secrets Belle wishes never to remember, including what she thought had just been a girlish obsession with Tom Cruise. La Jolla baits Belle into staying longer, surrounded by beautiful, sun-kissed strangers -- including a lover or two of her mother's -- who know things about Noelle that Belle herself could never have imagined. Belle finds herself one night in a strange, spa-like mansion party, at the centre of which is a large, glowing tank of red jellyfish, hosted by a mysterious woman in red. Thus begins a frenzied, ferocious journey and gory tale of mayhem, cults, and magic mirrors -- luring the grief-stricken Belle straight into the belly of the beast. In this newly imagined genre of Sephora Horror, Rouge provides an astonishing indictment of mainstream beauty standards, white-washed makeup campaigns, and the suffocating pressure to look as young as possible for as long as possible."--Provided by publisher.
