i think i will need several days to process what i’ve just read.
you don’t know what’s real and what’s not and reading this book felt like having a bad fever dream.
also lowkey felt samantha’s feeling of being lost and alone.

Torn between “is this book clever?” and “is this book just as pretentious as the MFA program and students it mocks?” “Is it satirizing itself?” or “did it miss the mark?” I literally don’t know how to rate it because idk if I understand it or not lol

First pick for book club! My brain is throbbing and I’m so confused but also what an enjoyable and fun and shocking and thrilling read (I could go on and on with the adjectives). It’s Mean Girls meets Fight Club meets Alice in Wonderland meets dark academia bliss. I really don’t know what more you could want.
