SAMANTHA INLOVE WITH AVA IS THE BEST THING EVER BUT THE FACT THAT AVA DIES IS THE WORST THING EVER I WANNA CRYYYY

AMAZING BOOK!!! Got it and thought it was interesting and it was so much better than the back of the book. Get ready for a heathers and Melanie Martinez mv rollercoaster of emotions and plot line. Some parts are questionable but absolute epitome of metaphorical horror/ psychology cult thriller!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

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.

Oh I loved this. It was twisted. It was surreal. It was weird. I found myself wanting to know more and hoping the protagonist put herself in danger to do so. 😬 Normally I’m like, “no don’t go in there” but this book was so intriguing I kept hoping she’d go where she shouldn’t.

genuinely so confused. a very good read, intriguing, and hard to put down. It feels like an A24 film as a novel. A24- if you’re reading this, please hit up mona awad.
