What kind of a fever dream was that, Bunny?

Clueless meets Mean Girls meets a really bad trip, I could not put this down. Compulsive, claustrophobic, compelling and downright bizarre. I loved it.

Darkly funny and deeply sad. At times also eerie, ominous, and disorienting in the best kind of way. A take on horror, creativity, loneliness, and the academic world that I didn’t know I needed. The ending was rather ambiguous, and I’m still digesting whether I liked how things wrapped up, but overall it was a really engaging ride!

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!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
