They mention rape or the possibility of being raped but rape isn't actually within the book.

i kind of loved how insane this was. i found myself jumping from theory to theory to try to make sense of something, but then i would immediately be hit with another layer to the story. i already knew to expect chaos going into this book, but i was pleasantly surprised with the overarching metaphors and meta-ness of the journey. i would highly recommend this if you’re open to an unconventional mean girls-meets-dark-academia story that leaves you wondering if it was all just delusion.

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!

All in all, a very well-written book. A captivating story full of twists and turns, with characters that are so well-constructed it seems like you get to actually know them. However, it's also a roller-coaster, so knotted and loopy that you wind up confused and waiting for more. Its such a bizarre story, but I do recommend it.
