reading this book feels like you are in a drug filled haze alongside alex and you will leave this novel a little more unmoored from reality than when you started it; in a fantastically brilliant literary way

The reviews that are like "the main character isn't likable" like yeah?? So many stories and ideas in the world would not be told if the main characters were only allowed to be good ppl.. y'all eat this shit up when it's a man. 

The main character allowed for interesting commentary on the concessions ppl allow in their relationships and the lack of existence within never truly letting ppl know you & never truly forming close relationships. 

This is my second book from Emma Cline and I really enjoy her writing style.
