had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. i am obsessed with fiction that has characters that are all so flawed that there is not a single Good Person among them. so well-paced and hauntingly written. every single page is entertaining. usually with books of this length i get bored super quick, but that never happened here. i'm not gonna say that i Liked it, because it was fucked up, but reading it was fascinating.

it revolves around mentally and physically unhealthy college students murdering their friend, doing drugs, drinking copious amounts of alcohol, and being terrible people to each other, so... proceed with caution?
