this was so ???? i loved it so much, i read it basically in one sitting. i wasn't really sure what to expect going into it honestly, like maybe a little cult-y weirdness but it defiantly surpassed that. everything that happened was just so unexpected, especially in part three. i adored this and would recommend it to anyone who likes weird literature

Unfortunately, I guessed the twist very early on (and I wasn’t a fan of the trope used), but there was otherwise a lot of interesting stuff to unpack here. I loved the voice of it, and I loved out batsh!t crazy it was - what a bonkers premise.

A very bizarre read that felt more satirical and allegorical than grounded. Not sure if it was hard to follow because the world building felt scattered and disjointed like a stream of consciousness or if because the events that were happening were so fucking wacky that, at times, the narrative seemed almost nonlinear. Who knows? Not me! It was basically Mean Girls meets Girls season 4 with the writer workshop meets blowing up bunnies meets genderbent Stepford Wives? Idk it was weird but not especially fun. Was so hopeful about this one and ultimately…blah.

I was expecting(/hoping?) something more graphic and darker based on hype I saw around this book on social media, but I was still enamoured with it and couldn't put it down. the writing is very descriptive and vivid. The book is divided into three parts: part 1 is incredible, but parts 2 & 3 could stand to be longer.
