This is a mind bender. I recommend reading it without trying to make sense of it.

This story was unexpected. I would describe this book as a horror version of Fight Club through a female lens. It was definitely unique with many interesting turns. 

If you find unreliable narration frustrating, then this is not the book for you. I did think this book was a fun read with parts that actually made me chuckle. Some of the physical descriptions were also very visceral.

Honestly I don’t even know what to say after that. 

Mona Awad is clearly an extremely talented author given I was hooked despite not really knowing what was going on. 

It kinda gives Black Swan vibes, in the sense that it’s super weird and it’s never really explained. Except I absolutely hated Black Swan and kinda loved this? 

Very gripping, very unique, confusing and yet somehow a social commentary of social cliques somehow. 

My recommendation is to just not question it too much and enjoy the ride!

I'm just very confused about this but I still had a good time and it was really compelling and creepy and had lots of inhale deeply parts. I definitely want to reread it in the future, to see if I can pick the clues throughout

because um her friend being a swan/not real??? Had me gagged
