Plain and simple: this book is very good. The entire last third of the book was so bizarre and truly jaw dropping that I couldn’t put it down. I can’t say much else without spoilers but I do think this book is intensely interesting for the shock factor alone on just what the fuck is going to happen next. A quick read once you get into it.

BRILLIANNNNNNNNTTTTT. incredible... i'm reading all the interpretations of this book from other people and am amazed and intrigued by all of them. this was genius.

i had a different part of the review here a few hours ago but now i'm just going to leave it with what i said up there. i am obsessed with how it is written and how her inner dialogue is constructed and changed and twisted throughout and i had a great great great time WE FREAKING LOVE YOU BUNNY

This was such a bizarre read, and I’m sure I’ll be mulling it over for quite some time. Mona Awad is a new read for me, and while I appreciate the creative liberties with the writing style, I don’t know that her writing is for me. The concept of this book was great - mean girls meets Frankenstein, but the execution wasn’t to my liking. The story is mostly dialogue, but the reader is unaware whether the main character is speaking or thinking, and who is replying to her thoughts/statements. This would be a tremendous film, but the story lacked character depth and description for me. As a reader, you’re very in the dark as to what is happening with the narrator and what is reality (granted, that is the point, especially when describing the immersion in the cult). While it was a weird story, I did enjoy it. This is a perfect Halloween-time read, and I enjoyed the creepy aspects of the story. The whole story feels like a fever dream, and you feel like you’re taking on the hazy understanding of the main character.

Spoiler

While I anticipated many aspects of the conclusion of the book, the final pages will certainly keep me thinking about what was truly reality for the character in the story.

As a whole, I’m glad I picked this book up for the fall season and enjoyed my experience.
