I loved this a lot.. the ending was unexpected to me but also such a good way to shape the story. It really made me think
i took this book so literally at the start and began to lowkey hate it…just for me to realize it’s the most unserious shit ever and i actually adore it.

i want to love this book cuz it has the makings of a book i would really enjoy - yearning mc, (toxic) lesbians, weird relo w academia, but it took me so long to finish and the ending was as horrible (in subject matter not as my opinion) as i feared it would be. im glad i did finish it tho and would venture to read more of awad’s work. definitely takes some getting used to in terms of surreal style and absurd details but i did really like rouge which i read first. just found out about the sequel/prequel and i am looking forward to that too.
This book is just an English literature lovers dream. So much imagery & foreshadowing. Samantha so much reminded me of the twins from ‘Wise Children’ in that she was such a unreliable narrator. Great read!
