WOW. This book. It honestly leaves me speechless, yet I have a million thoughts running around in my head. So much was happening. I hated every character except perhaps Francis who was slightly less hateable. You'd thing hating all the characters would be a turn off, but it only made the reading experience more delightful. I normally don't leave a spoiler including review, so let's go over this book without any spoilers. Bunny has been killed by his closest friends. Why? Well it's insanely complicated but maybe because of mr. manupalative and psychotic Henry. Robert was the craziest narrator i've ever had the experience of encountering. With his naive, trusting, and dumb nature, you sometimes had no way to differentiate what actually happened and what he thought happened. You could never trust him. Francis, the gay rich boy was probably the most likeable character because of his lack of pyschotic nature and mostly friendly persona. Charles and Camilla (the sus twins) are self explanatory enough. The writing in this book overall, was an experience in itself that you simply cannot miss. It kept me enaged the entire time in it's tragic beauty. Seeing Robert's view of beautifying everything he see's was so unique. Most of the books I read are from sarcastic narators that hate the world, so this was a nice change. Overall, I love this book so much that I want to tear it up, toss the pieces in the sea, and jump in with it. Beauty is terror, after all.

The first third of this book was interesting enough, but then it just got worse and worse

All I can say after reading this was what the fuck
All the characters were pretentious assholes but that’s what makes the book so good 
They all did drugs sometimes in the Burger King parking lot, and honestly just about anything could and did happen in this book
The ending was very AHHH and I was speechless even tho I kind of predicted it 
It was very much a fun book and it didn’t take that long to read for me because It was so good and something was always happening 
I think how good this book is can be subjective to whoever is reading the book tho 
Anyways it was a really good book and I liked it Lot 
Henry is the loml <3

Man, this book is something else. I can see why some don't like it and others adore it! I'd personally rate it a 4/5 - 3,5 or 3,75/5 if I was really critic of it but mostly 4/5 for the whole enjoyment of it.

Some critics I see is that the cast lacks personality and no one feels unique or, well, human. I- yeah, in some ways, that is true, I won't deny it. I think that was really evident in the beginning, especially

before Bunny's murder,

but as things develop, so do their behavior.

I think that also shows that showing yourself through your aesthetics and fantasies alone, presenting a fake image of you to others, is going to eventually destroy you and who you love. That final scene with Henry lives rent-free in my head still...

But without going too deep into it, I just really enjoyed the whole ride this had to offer-!
