I suggest you check the content warning before picking this up as it is being presented as a ~weird girlhood vibes~ story when its a little bit more than that

I honestly do not know what to make of this book… like what did I just read??? Haha

Firstly, I will start off by saying that I think Dizz Tate really captures the collective ‘We’ and the dark imagery is beautiful.

Apart from that I honestly really struggled with knowing what was going on in this book… there was just so much and things being hinted at/insinuated. The part where I am totally lost is the ending I just feel it was rushed and I was just sat on the tube (subway) on the last page like what the actual heck?? 

Having said all this; I would still love to read more Dizz Tate books and I  hope she does write more. Also, I feel like this book would be a good book club talking point because there’s so many ways to interpret this book and I personally want to sit down talk about about it all just to know what others takeaways were.
