This seriously felt like a fever dream and I needed to pull myself back to reality after reading. Kafkaesk teenage fairytale set in an absurde lovecraftian New England university town.

They mention rape or the possibility of being raped but rape isn't actually within the book.

i kind of loved how insane this was. i found myself jumping from theory to theory to try to make sense of something, but then i would immediately be hit with another layer to the story. i already knew to expect chaos going into this book, but i was pleasantly surprised with the overarching metaphors and meta-ness of the journey. i would highly recommend this if you’re open to an unconventional mean girls-meets-dark-academia story that leaves you wondering if it was all just delusion.

Unsure how to review this tbh, it's pretty mind-boggling. Enjoyed the setting and the MC, did get a bit unnerved towards the end which I suppose is the intent! I think this genre is just not for me, it's hard for me to fully appreciate or grasp lol. I can see why people love it but I finished it thinking wow! That was unpleasant. Not great for a gal who reads for escapism. Very very cleverly written though!
