I saw this being recommended on BookTok and I am SO glad I tried it 👏🏼 

It was a very easy read, in that I didn’t have to stumble over difficult words or think too much about who was who. A Bachelor-esque TV show gone very, very wrong! 🙊 Once I picked it up, I could hardly put it back down.

Patricia really did want to cuddle, she just had a horrifically bloody way of showing it 😂 I also LOVE that Renne discovered her sexuality (say gay y’all!) and let Patricia kill Jeremy 🙂‍↔️

4 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨ What a read 🏳️‍🌈

This was the perfect thrill ride to pull me out of my reading slump. Once I started, it was difficult not to read the rest.

This is an entertaining, fast read. It's full of weird humor and shallow characters, poking fun at cultural narcissism in an over-the-top, hilarious way. And when the horror kicks in, hold on, because it gets gruesome and absolutely bonkers for the last 100 pages! This book is silly in all the best ways, and was a lot of fun to read.
