Utterly disturbing. I’ve not read much horror and this just gripped me in a way I haven’t had for ages. The first half was like watching a car crash; it was awful and getting worse by the second and I couldn’t look away. I love the critique of elitism and pretentiousness in the arts. I loved how Mona Awad explored the insanity of trying to fit in with people you hate - something most people pleasers can relate to. I thought the second half was interesting but for different reasons. I actually really enjoyed Max’s character but I with she’d done more with him. The Lion was a little pointless. Jonah deserved better! 
This book was An Experience. Not sure I’m eager to repeat it but I am so glad that I read it.
