Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine
4.0

As a recent college graduate in my 20's, this book felt like a surreal cautionary tale. I love an unreliable narrator, but this one is actually rather reliable in how insane she will always be. It's like a roller coaster of "oh god oh god oh god." Some extremely funny one-liners and twists. I thought the ending was a little odd and perhaps it wrapped up rather quickly, but overall it works.
The concept for the book is amazing and so genius. I've never really encountered a female protagonist (can you call her a protagonist?) who is genuinely a bad person before and it really sucked me in. I'd like to thank my friends for listening to me gab about this book as I read it (perhaps it became my personal treasure island for a bit but let's not talk about it.)
