I don't understand what just happened. Every time I thought I did, the plot shifted and Samantha went through another episode of insanity. Anything I could say would be saying too much and I think you need to enter this with all little information as possible; you can easily assume this book one thing when it's completely and utterly something else. 

When y'all said this book was bizarre, you meant it. When you said it reminded you of "The Secret History"... You lost me. Entirely. This book really reminded me the most of Heathers, and at times Mean Girls, sometimes The Craft?

Additionally, Awad can get very redundant with certain words, especially in the beginning of the book. Also her descriptions don't make a lot of sense? I think she tries really hard to sound poetic and profound, but doesn't harbor the skill to do it well. Her writing isn't necessarily bad but I've read better. A lot of times it came off corny... And don't get me started on how Jonah talked. I can't tell if that was intentional or not. 

I mean... I'd read it again, I wouldn't recommend this to anybody.
