This just really wasn't for me. I didn't understand it, and it was just way way way too weird for me, with too many things left unexplained. It was well written.

The first couple chapters read like ‘The Secret History’ meets ‘Mean Girls’. The as you go on there is a lot more ‘Fight Club’. I agree with the reviews that this is an absolute fever dream, a literary masterpiece no doubt but it gave me a headache. I wish I could have studied books like this at uni, would have made my literature degree a lot less dull

I don't know what's going on. I don't think I understand this one. Like... at all.

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.
