So this was a very strange book. It’s been a few days since finishing it and I’m still confused about it, maybe even more. It’s one of those books where when you finish it you think; “what did I just read?”. I did love this book mainly because of the weirdness and vibes alone.

I feel like this is a dark book about female friendships, made with satire and humor that isn’t ever explicitly said. There are few jokes made throughout the book, but the actions and thoughts of the characters are funny and remind me of Mean Girls or Heathers, that kind of parody-like media.

However, the book was a bit too confusing at times, even though it is meant to be. There were strange scenes, interactions and conversations that never got explained, which made the rest of the book more confusing. I get that it was written that way, but it was a little too much for me.

This book reminded me of when I was in high school English classes. When the class had to read some classic book that was hard to understand and you were constantly looking up “what does it mean when [this character] did ___” “did ___ ever happen” “what is the meaning behind [insert scene]?” So yes very confusing book, you can’t go into it wanting to get an explanation of every detail. But in the end, you did enjoy it.

I honestly want to read this again soon, because I feel like I would get a better understanding of the book and enjoy it for the vibe and characters, instead of trying to find meaning in every paragraph.

Despite my confusion throughout this book, I did really like it. It was a very enjoyable read. It is broken apart into three parts, and the second part was just amazing.

confusing, ethereal, and dark. Its such a good book that sways between a semi-understandable narrative to an incomprehensible look into samanthas mind. after a while i had no clue what was happening

like what happened with ava? im still confused

but i found myself not caring and just enjoying the ride

there were many moments that the story felt too real, i’d get anxious or my stomach would drop in second hand embarrassment. however, i found parts 1 and 2 a bit boring but part 3 made it all worth it and i was hooked.

Loved this. Very heavy influences from Heather's, The Craft, Jennifer's Body, Alice in Wonderland, Frankenstein, Mean Girls, and so much more. Creepy, ambiguous read. Very open ended. Something I think you've gotta reread bc somethings I think were hidden underneath and meant to be analyzed and revealed later. Look into the trigger warnings before reading!! Also wanted to say I loved the writing styles! Felt like I was in the book because of the atmospheric writing. Definitely felt the senses and the watching eyes that seemed to always be there even if they weren't always obvious.
