Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas
4.5
Like everyone else is saying, this gives off the same vibes as Bunny by Mona Awad, which is one of my favourite books of all time. And just like that one, this is not a book for everyone. It's intentionally confusing, it's weird, it burns slow, it's plotless for the most part, characters are unhinged and the air is deeply unsettling.
In fact, Ines reminded me a lot of the protagonist from Bunny. The reason why these books work is because it's fascinating to glimpse into the minds of these characters. It's fascinating to watch them slowly transform and lose their minds, basically.
The writing was beautiful, just like you would expect from a dark academia like this. The setting was fantastic too.
My only bone to pick was that it dragged on a little bit in the middle which in my opinion was unnecessary.
You'll know if these kind of books are for you, and if they are, you'll have a great time with it.
