Utterly disturbing. I’ve not read much horror and this just gripped me in a way I haven’t had for ages. The first half was like watching a car crash; it was awful and getting worse by the second and I couldn’t look away. I love the critique of elitism and pretentiousness in the arts. I loved how Mona Awad explored the insanity of trying to fit in with people you hate - something most people pleasers can relate to. I thought the second half was interesting but for different reasons. I actually really enjoyed Max’s character but I with she’d done more with him. The Lion was a little pointless. Jonah deserved better! 
This book was An Experience. Not sure I’m eager to repeat it but I am so glad that I read it.

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.

This just really wasn't for me. I didn't understand it, and it was just way way way too weird for me, with too many things left unexplained. It was well written.

this was a violent, wild ride! i LOVE these kinds of books but they’re really not for everyone. you have to go into it knowing that it’ll be a little fucked up and not everything will make sense and you will not get the answers by the end lol. you never quite know what’s real, whether it was
a drug induced hallucination via cult? or some type of paranoia/schizophrenia? who’s to say but i was very entertained
