4.0

This book was genuinely so insane and I think we have a toxic relationship. Samantha's voice in the first half of the book is so pretentious and the way she tries to set herself apart from the bunnies pretentious writing is amusing because she's not far from that critique as well. This book explores what it means to be truly lonely, what it means to have class and privilege, female friendships and their horrors. Upon reading the second half of the book, you begin to realize why Samantha's voice was set up the way it was and how it changes. It really messes with your mind in the best way. This book creeped me the fuck out, but knowing all that I know now, I am definitely going to read this again and see all that I missed. Thank you Mona Awad for this mindfuck of a book.

DNF. 
Was not enjoying this book at all. I have been reading it for 4 months now and I'm only 50% through it. It isn't the typical genre I read and I found it very weird and confusing. 
I might re visit this book in the future but not anytime soon.

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!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

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.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more confused but also know what’s going on at the same time while reading a book.
