5.0

Very tense and creepy most of the time. The whole thing sort of creeps up on you and leaves you with this overall feeling of dread. I was going to give it a 4 since a lot of the plot beats felt predictable but some of the newer elements introduced in the second half/last third and the ending made me bump it up a lot. It felt a LOT like dark academia Heathers with heavy influences from a particular classic novel that gives a lot away if I mention it.

You should read this for the prose. It's humorous, gritty, dark, animalistic, fairytale-like; it feels like the true successor to the ominous and floral imagination of writers like Angela Carter. But besides that, I felt it didn't go all-out with its extremely promising concept. I don't say this as a bad thing, because Mona Awad really feels like the type of writer to be so self-aware. I didn't get much out of her ideas here as much as I wanted, with as much as I trusted her to deliver.

Knowing what this book is now, it could have done so much more.
