 Is every girl at least a little gay for their best friend? Middle is a little boring, gets really exciting at about 4/5 through the book. From the tango class onward, I had a feeling about Ava and I was about fifty percent right. If this is what it takes to get an MFA, count me out.

 Crazy-scary-sad is the perfect way to describe this book.  I'm a fan of the prose - the proems. Hate bouquet. Fuck you flower. Mouth sounds.

This book defied all my initial expectations but felt quite disjointed. I wish it flowed more smoothly. I nearly lost interest halfway through when Samantha's (the MC) pity party kind of felt too much. Still, I recommend it just because Mona Awad's writing style is fun to read!

I don’t think I’ve ever been more confused but also know what’s going on at the same time while reading a book.

CW: Ableist language, Romani slur, woman slur, r*pe mentions, animal cruelty and death

This book was confusing and weird--bad weird. Too weird for me. Was it supposed to be horror?  Seemed pretty horrific to me.  A lady on tiktok recommended it, I will not be taking her recommendations again!

I will have to rate this book at a later date. I both hated it and yet was addicted to it. I'm not sure what I just read and need time to digest this book.

This is a brilliant book and I loved it. The first 75 pages were quite slow but once the pace picked up, I couldn’t put it down and finished it in one afternoon.

Aims to be clever, doesn't even get to be pretentious. It feels vulgar, for the most part, and confusing to the point of sloppiness.
