4.0

If you read this book literally, it's an acid trip of horrors. Godspeed to you. If you read it as a metaphor... well, hopefully you've sat through a few creative writing workshops. That's my biggest criticism of this book: the intended audience feels very narrow. It's also a bit on the nose, mean spirited, and too long. I still gave it 4 stars, though, because it's such an accurate depiction of being an angsty, teenage writer.

What a wild book. Creepy and odd, the prose feels as fluctuating as the content. Really cool. -.25 just because it feels like it could have been fanfiction about the author not fitting in during her time at an MFA at brown, but truly what a creative way to take it.
