Half wondering if the contents change with the reader. Some of this was too specific!

Unsure how to review this tbh, it's pretty mind-boggling. Enjoyed the setting and the MC, did get a bit unnerved towards the end which I suppose is the intent! I think this genre is just not for me, it's hard for me to fully appreciate or grasp lol. I can see why people love it but I finished it thinking wow! That was unpleasant. Not great for a gal who reads for escapism. Very very cleverly written though!

Coming of age but for people who are in grad school, the art kind. It's weird in a dark-toned, enjoyable way. I think the fantasy sprawls out as the story progresses, creating branches of the mythology present in the book.

I think it touches on a lot of digging deeper into someone's subconcious and intense female friendships that I'm sure a lot of women have been through, just the ups and downs of it all. The pressure of existing in a world where you feel like you don't beling whether it's class or personality. 

In a sense, it's wild and incomprihensible, like a dream you don't remember a few minutes after waking up.

 This was the weirdest thing I've read, and I'm still super confused. I did enjoy it, and it kept me entertained throughout but I will have to look into what it was I actually read lol.
