I loved this silly little book. Even just the switch between paragraphs and a transcription kept me so engaging. What a great read about taking a look at your own mental health, what it’s like living in a small ass city, and crossing boundaries (for better or worse). 

Thanks Jen! This was fabulous. Happy pride.

I don’t know what kind of drugs jen beagin took to come up with the plot of this bc there’s NO WAY any person sane person could’ve come up with this 😭😭😭 
this shit disturbed me on such a high level but the way it was written also make me giggle a couple of times idk if that’s a good or a bad thing 
I’ll probably forget about this rly quickly but I’d still recommend it to anyone who enjoys weird girl fiction and ottessa moshfegh books 🔥🔥
