My exact brand of fucked up book, dark academic English course setting while slowing going absolutely insane, never knowing what's real and what's not

If you like a book with a definite plotline and solid ending, this isn't for you. 
It wasn't bad. It was well written and the voice was interesting and well thought out. It did feel like a feverdream and I'm not 100% sure what was going on most of the time. I liked it enough, but if I hadn't plowed through it, I probably would've put it down and not picked it up again.

gave me major mean girls vibes! mean girls tripping on drugs! it was such a bizarre read, but in the most deliciously captivating way. i was almost convinced that ava and samantha were in love with each other, until... despite everything, i absolutely loved the book. 

BUT I LOVED IT! SO MUCH! SOMEBODY STOP ME FROM FORMING AN ALL GIRL FRIENDGROUP WHILE CALLING EACH OTHER BUNNY!

This just really wasn't for me. I didn't understand it, and it was just way way way too weird for me, with too many things left unexplained. It was well written.
