This book is like a creeping vine that wraps its way slowly around you until you realize you’re trapped. It’s a deeply unsettling story of two girls who form a toxic friendship, twisted in on itself by fame, ambition, and desire. Even though I feel like I saw some things coming, it still made my heart pound. Chilling in a good way.
