I don't think I've ever read a book where even as I finished it, I'm asking myself, what did I just read?  And why did I love it so much?

At times dark, disturbing, yet funny and satirical, it's a look at the ridiculousness of higher education.  It is a story that gives a whole new meaning to open to interpretation and unreliable narrarator.  Even now, having finished the book, I couldn't tell you what was real, and what may or may not have been all in Smackie's head.  A mix of the Craft meets mean girls with a touch of Dark Academia thrown in, I couldn't put the book down.

I found this book very tense, disturbing & at times, confusing. I understand where the author was trying to go with it, however I feel that it fell a bit short of that.

Not my type of stuff but I appreciate it for what it was. It was super twisted and slightly horrific but still managed to connect you to the main character’s loneliness. The desire for connection and also a really good observation (and exaggeration) of studying the arts, stereotypes and cliques. 

I’ll admit I have absolutely no idea what was happening half the time or if certain things were meant to mean something in particular. But the writing was still succinct it was more the symbolism of it that I don’t think I totally understood

I don’t know if I can explain anything about this book. I’m not really sure I understood it. However! It is very well written and I was fascinated by the premise. I would recommend this book for people who are into darker books or books about being a woman in your 20s.
