This book was weird! That's the best way I can describe it. Thankfully, for a horror book, it wasn't that scary. Instead, it seemed almost satirical in its horror, and even in the most intense moments, the book still managed to poke fun at the central antagonists. I enjoyed the fact that this book made fun of rich, feminine, privileged women, especially when they dived so heavily into being feminist. If this book had been written by a man, I would be more inclined to say it's anti-feminist, but it seems the author is trying to criticize the vapid women in academia who are enormously privileged in every way but their gender. The symbolism intrigued me, and the plot twist in the end was satisfying, even if I had a feeling it would be the case. The book was also very captivating–I read it in 2 sittings!
