Such disorienting world building! I felt swept up in the confusion, chaos and blurred reality throughout reading it, so much so that I was thinking about this book like it was my real life and my real friends. The satirization of academia paired with the stark class division was funny in an uncanny way.

This book was "interesting". However, I legit never knew what was going on, and although the events that transpired were psychotic, like a literal fever dream. I kid you not sometimes I thought this book was just a product of Samantha's stories because in the book it mentions how dark and twisted Samantha's stories are (that was not the case). This book was really hyped so I read it, but I can't really say that I enjoyed my experience reading it. This story had no purpose. Like what was the point of anything that happened?!😭😂

Girls that get it, get it, girls that don't, don't.

And im the girl that doesn't get it.

Most of the book was me trying to figure out which character is which, where i am and what am i doing. As soon as the story picks up pace i immediately fell back again to the where, what, who, when. 

Could be just me and my comprehensive skill but yeh, not a book for me. 

Spoiler

i guess the part where they reveal ava is made up also is pretty interesting but again, i was too lost and confused to actually process anything

A bitingly satirical evaluation of female friendship and the echo chamber of academic elitism turns into a ‘what-the-f***’ horror-thriller that boggles just as it enthrals.

This is one of those books that I could sit here for hours and try to express my thoughts about it but I just don't know what to say. 
Firstly, there were some quotes and scenes in this book that I really did enjoy, whether they were poetic or completely insane. 
Honestly, I could just describe this book as creepy, crazy and sad (and a bit horny). 
Also, I enjoyed the author's sarcasm for the pretentiousness of some people in the art world. I think that it was done in a very smart way. 
On the other hand, there were some parts in the story where I couldn't understand what was happening, but I understand that this is the author's purpose. 
Overall, this was an interesting read hence why I am giving it 3 stars.
