How do you like your eggs?!
As a Halloween & Disney enthusiast myself, this book was so fun! I loved the character of Maeve - think Patrick Bateman in a princess dress.
This has it all: Dark comedy, violence, plenty of body horror, romance, rage and a Halloween playlist to die for…..

4.5 ⭐️ I wanted to give 5 stars, but I wish the ending would've been different.

This book was challenging, which is good. I really enjoyed the writing style.
It also compelled me to read American Psycho, considering how heavily it’s referenced throughout. Unfortunately, after reading American Psycho, some of the more compelling stylistic choices in Maeve Fly are revealed as decent facsimiles rather than something transformative.
I understand the theme/idea that Maeve is just a coagulation of the books she’s read, but the characterization never really moves beyond simple reference into something more compelling.
The portrayal of LA is great, and ultimately the city is the most interesting character in the book.
I will probably re-read it at some point because, again, I really enjoyed the writing style, but the plot and characters felt like less than the sum of their parts.
