I couldn’t put it down! Absolutely chilling at times, and still thinking about what everything could mean. I can’t wait to reread bc notice all the foreshadowing of this beautifully twisted book!

The best way I can describe this book is if Heathers and Doki Doki Literature Club had a love child, and you and that love child got high together. Reading it feels like an acid trip in the best way. 

The setting of Warren University is the perfect backdrop for a story like this, and Awad gives an excellent description of a seemingly picturesque facade that is much more sinister after a closer look - a concept that many students at prestigious universities understand all too well! Samantha is not meant to be particularly likeable, and I like that her pretentious, holier-than-thou mindset is called out in a way that also calls out every “I’m not like other girls” main character ever. The ending seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere but there are clever elements of foreshadowing throughout that make sense only when the pieces are put together at the end.

I don’t know if I can explain anything about this book. I’m not really sure I understood it. However! It is very well written and I was fascinated by the premise. I would recommend this book for people who are into darker books or books about being a woman in your 20s.

Half wondering if the contents change with the reader. Some of this was too specific!
