Loved this. Very heavy influences from Heather's, The Craft, Jennifer's Body, Alice in Wonderland, Frankenstein,  Mean Girls, and so much more. Creepy, ambiguous read. Very open ended. Something I think you've gotta reread bc somethings I think were hidden underneath and meant to be analyzed and revealed later. Look into the trigger warnings before reading!! Also wanted to say I loved the writing styles! Felt like I was in the book because of the atmospheric writing. Definitely felt the senses and the watching eyes that seemed to always be there even if they weren't always obvious.

Alice in Wonderland meets Ninth House meets Heathers in the trippiest, most speculative book of its kind I’ve read in years. Really enjoyed the narrative choices made and the arc of the plot. It’s like Mona Awad reached into my brain and made my perfect novel.

This book made me so angry. I do feel like there's something there about desire, that these girls can grant any of their own darkest desires but still come up with these like unthreatening neutered ken doll Disney princes, but the story doesn't really engage with that. Instead it delves into this extremely unrelatable portrait of female friendship where the main character hates the Bunnies while simultaneously being desperate for their approval (if they're so stupid why do you care if they don't like your story?????).

There is this bizarre extended sequence near the end that involves a twisted hallucination of two characters critiquing the book and honestly I agreed with everything they said so clearly this book was not for me.
