Witty and funny and creepy and honestly just a great axe-wielding time. I especially love that I had no idea where the story was going for most of the book, and was just along for the ride. One of the blurbs said it was gonna be the weirdest book I read all year. It wasn’t (that award goes to Earthlings by Sayaka Murata without a doubt), but it was definitely very trippy. I think it had kind of similar vibes to the Netflix show Brand New Cherry Flavor. If you, like me, really really wish Carmen Maria Machado would write a full-length novel, then this book is for you.

4.0

this book is filled to the brim with the sugary-sweet sensations and bright pastels of an acid trip that’s about to go horribly wrong (which isn’t far from the events of this story). 

extremely imaginative and told from such a unique and captivating prose. awad’s writing is atmospheric and deliberate with every word. the book is purposefully pretentious, making a number of critiques on social power dynamics and the pompous elitism of academia. very captivating story sprinkled with the brilliance of a sort of post-feminist creative writer. 

<i>We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful.</i>
