A very intriguing book that I was heavily invested in towards the beginning. I began to lose interest around the third section but I was quickly hooked again by the ending.

I couldn’t put it down! Absolutely chilling at times, and still thinking about what everything could mean. I can’t wait to reread bc notice all the foreshadowing of this beautifully twisted book!

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.

The best way I can describe this book is if Heathers and Doki Doki Literature Club had a love child, and you and that love child got high together. Reading it feels like an acid trip in the best way. 

The setting of Warren University is the perfect backdrop for a story like this, and Awad gives an excellent description of a seemingly picturesque facade that is much more sinister after a closer look - a concept that many students at prestigious universities understand all too well! Samantha is not meant to be particularly likeable, and I like that her pretentious, holier-than-thou mindset is called out in a way that also calls out every “I’m not like other girls” main character ever. The ending seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere but there are clever elements of foreshadowing throughout that make sense only when the pieces are put together at the end.
