I loved this. It’s weird, trippy, dreamlike, dark, sad, and funny. Probably a divisive book - I was drawn to the writing and vibes from page one and it only got better from there. If the first third of the book isn’t pulling you in, it might not be for you.

Well, that was certainly a descent into madness. I knew this would be different, but I wasn’t expecting such a surrealist, frenetic story.

I don’t really know how to summarize this or critique it. For most of the book, all I could think was WTF… which was probably the point. But because of that, anything it was saying about gender or class or academia kind of got lost in the shuffle for me.

I love this book. If you are into the occult and eerie type of fiction this would just be what you’re looking for. It’s hard to give a good review without spoiling the book but it’s probably the easiest to say that if you are not confused after finishing this book you read it wrong. There is a very metaphoric vibe to it

Absolutely batshit insane. Like Mean Girls meets Fight Club meets The Exorcist. Throughoughly enjoyable even though reading it made me feel like I was high. Kind of Reminiscent of Angela Carter's magical realism?? Very few likeable characters and completely unpredictable.

this book was a lot to take in. the writing was exceptional and the foreshadowing was amazing. yes, it was weird, but i found it to be extremely sad too. overall, i deeply enjoyed this book. these aren't usually the types of books i read, but i enjoyed it.
