Lol wtf such an incredibly insane book and I loved every minute. Allen is amazing at crafting so many different and distinct voices for all the characters who get their own POV chapters. Somehow this book is light, goofy, intense, emotional, terrifying, gross, insane, and otherworldly ALL IN ONE! Without spoilers, it’s a cast of characters on a “The Bachelor” type show meets a (comical?) horror movie - that’s not the right word to use here because I don’t do horror books, but I also don’t have the descriptive writing skills Allen has, so that’s the best I have!

This is an entertaining, fast read. It's full of weird humor and shallow characters, poking fun at cultural narcissism in an over-the-top, hilarious way. And when the horror kicks in, hold on, because it gets gruesome and absolutely bonkers for the last 100 pages! This book is silly in all the best ways, and was a lot of fun to read.

I really enjoyed this book, even if having so many pov got confusing at times. 
Apart from Renee which was lovely and deserves only good things, the other characters were truly awful. 
Casey got too many chapters for my taste, she is an arrogant entitled woman and I couldn't care less what she was doing/thinking (which usually consisted in a mix of "I'm way better than anyone" and "what can my superior intellect come up with to improve our ratings") 
Patricia if you need some cuddle time I'm volunteering, in fact I would love to do just that!
