5.0

Very tense and creepy most of the time. The whole thing sort of creeps up on you and leaves you with this overall feeling of dread. I was going to give it a 4 since a lot of the plot beats felt predictable but some of the newer elements introduced in the second half/last third and the ending made me bump it up a lot. It felt a LOT like dark academia Heathers with heavy influences from a particular classic novel that gives a lot away if I mention it.

skillyillian's review against another edition

Oh my god I cannot spend another minute with this. The FMC comes off so whiny and self-pitying, her best friend is one of the most selfish, disrespectful, toxic and cringey edgelords I've ever read, and the bunnies are genuinely intolerable. This whole thing reads like something written in high school during the peak of someone's "I'm not like other girls" pick-me era. Maybe that's the whole point and I'm missing the forest for the trees here but I can't listen to another minute of how whiny and pathetic the FMC is. I'm not going to waste another nine hours of my life on this, I'm sorry but I just can't 😮‍💨

I don’t think I’ve ever been more confused but also know what’s going on at the same time while reading a book.

I will have to rate this book at a later date. I both hated it and yet was addicted to it. I'm not sure what I just read and need time to digest this book.

Not 100% sure what I just read but I mostly enjoyed it. Themes of the power creativity, the performance of femininity and connection, and the danger of isolation. I didn’t agree with some of the critique of the traditional femininity, but Samantha’s refusal to perform in the final chapter was satisfying.
