This would have been the perfect book for me, ticking all the boxes - well-written, evocative, personally meaningful, distinctive characters - had it not then relied on

This book lived up to the hype for me. It was mysterious throughout and definitely at times was unsettling. I loved the chapters written in first-person plural. The imagery was so fun and it really reminded me of the groups of girls I would hang out with growing up. The way they interacted in the weird and gross ways only early teenagers can understand felt really nostalgic. The ending was giving a very much Florida story. I completely devoured this book and really annoyed how clever it was.
Minor: Sexual assault, Violence, and Suicide

I think I like the confusion/surreality. It's the sort of book where I think I'd get a lot out of a re-read. I should have checked the content warnings before reading but that's on me!

This was a quick and captivating read but not as dark as I expected based on the synopsis.
Very weird story and confusing but I kind of liked it? Definition of no plot just vibes, which I don’t usually enjoy but the writing and characters held me. I really enjoyed the imagery and lyrical prose!
