"Can I just say I loved living in your lines and that's where I want to live now forever?"

Okay so I tried to not like this book, but I just really did. I loved descending into insanity with the characters, I loved questioning reality, I loved being transported into someone else's imagination - the author's and the main character's. 
To me this was about love, about loneliness, and about acceptance. Sometimes the world can make us feel like we're going insane - that we're insane in a world of the sane, or that we're the sane in a world of the insane.

The more I think about it, the more I love this novel. I want to write a book like this.

I don't know what's going on. I don't think I understand this one. Like... at all.

oooo I liked this book a lot!! There were a few moments I got confused but I thoroughly enjoyed those moments as much as any others. I like a book that you want to google immediately after and see how others interpret it. I still have a lot of questions to ask and points to ponder/process from it!

Very weird. Very confusing. But I liked it.

I really enjoyed the way Mona Awad played with narrative form.

SAMANTHA INLOVE WITH AVA IS THE BEST THING EVER BUT THE FACT THAT AVA DIES IS THE WORST THING EVER I WANNA CRYYYY

AMAZING BOOK!!! Got it and thought it was interesting and it was so much better than the back of the book. Get ready for a heathers and Melanie Martinez mv rollercoaster of emotions and plot line. Some parts are questionable but absolute epitome of metaphorical horror/ psychology cult thriller!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
