genuinely so confused. a very good read, intriguing, and hard to put down. It feels like an A24 film as a novel. A24- if you’re reading this, please hit up mona awad.

Completely different to what I expected.  The writing was often brilliant - Femininity has never been so menacing..! - but occasionally I got lost in word soup and found it difficult to engage with. I also found the audiobook narration a little slow - I felt it had much better momentum when I sped it up to 1.5x speed.

This book was genuine insanity. I highly recommend it but please be careful when reading it because you WILL get completely absorbed and also terrified. Laugh-out-loud hysteria in a nutshell. I adored this book and will be going back to annotate it.

This is my second time reading this. The first? I dipped out after the first chapter and condemned this as a a bad book with a narrator who’s ‘not like other girls’.

I was the one thinking I was not like other girls! I had part of the story spoiled for me and I knew I had to revisit it. After the first chapter, I was hooked and could not put it down.

Is the plot perfect? No. I have a good few questions and I’m still trying to wrap my head around things. But it keeps you interested. Every page was like being allowed another lick of your favourite snack, and I was definitely full by the end of it! 

Dark, funny, and a story that will confuse you as much at it coairvates you. I know this has a mixed response as a book, but I loved it.
