4.5

The first half and a bit more of this book is incredible, the final quarter just got a bit too chaotic for me personally, I know it's an insane story but I wish it were just a bit more grounded. Still loved this book however, it's so visceral and I know the exact feeling of having great friends yet still wanting to fit in, to lose the label of outcast. Just loved it.

DNF. 
Was not enjoying this book at all. I have been reading it for 4 months now and I'm only 50% through it. It isn't the typical genre I read and I found it very weird and confusing. 
I might re visit this book in the future but not anytime soon.

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!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

 Is every girl at least a little gay for their best friend? Middle is a little boring, gets really exciting at about 4/5 through the book. From the tango class onward, I had a feeling about Ava and I was about fifty percent right. If this is what it takes to get an MFA, count me out.

 Crazy-scary-sad is the perfect way to describe this book.  I'm a fan of the prose - the proems. Hate bouquet. Fuck you flower. Mouth sounds.

This book defied all my initial expectations but felt quite disjointed. I wish it flowed more smoothly. I nearly lost interest halfway through when Samantha's (the MC) pity party kind of felt too much. Still, I recommend it just because Mona Awad's writing style is fun to read!
