What a weird book. I have to be so for real that I still don't really think I know what happened. But it was visceral and compelling to read and such a surreal exploration of classism in higher ed and
the plot line with the Lion and what "didn't" happen haunts me because it's such a good depiction of that kind of grey happening in academia
. 

That said I can't tell how I feel about
a lot of the book's plot being driven by Sam's mental illness. Like... the reveal Ava isn't real, the extent to which Sam is unreliable BECAUSE of psychosis... I can't tell if it's a good exploration of being mentally ill and poor in neoliberal higher ed or kind of a saneist copout?
