Truly wild and I’m still not entirely sure what happened. Definitely something.

This is a mind bender. I recommend reading it without trying to make sense of it.

Honestly I don’t even know what to say after that. 

Mona Awad is clearly an extremely talented author given I was hooked despite not really knowing what was going on. 

It kinda gives Black Swan vibes, in the sense that it’s super weird and it’s never really explained. Except I absolutely hated Black Swan and kinda loved this? 

Very gripping, very unique, confusing and yet somehow a social commentary of social cliques somehow. 

My recommendation is to just not question it too much and enjoy the ride!
