My rating will probably change as I think on this more. Slow to start picked up a LOT in the middle and then I hated the ending. Engaging and interesting characters but I found it frustrating that we don’t know anything abt them, even if that was the point. I liked all the class commentary

Not the most complex book, but still interesting. You get sucked into her grand delusions but strangely understand her and you almost feel sorry for her but not at the same time. She is an unreliable narrator, but she lies to herself more than anything and genuinely believes everything will be fine. All of the theories people threw around about the ending were ridiculous, the book ended simply and purposefully- her delusions were just delusions.
