3.0

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.
