Whew well hot diggity damn that was SO INTENSEEEEE JESUS I haven’t been so engrossed in a book in a while, I couldn’t put it down!! This was as messy as I wanted it to be, even more messy than I could have imagined!! just what I was in the mood to read, I wanted problematic and traumatised people, obsession, addiction, ego and that is exactly what I got. Diana definitely gave me black swan/whiplash perfectionistic tortured artist energy, I really didn’t expect it to devolve in the ways that it did, especially into MURDER LIKE DAMN poor Aurelle she never got anything she wanted lmao talk about an unlucky time, I wanted Aurelle to have a redemption ark full of anger and revenge and to get back and Diana with a taste of her own medicine, but she wasn’t strong enough… just like Diana said, she should never have had to be but… yeah I just wish there could have been SOMETHING redeeming but that’s the way things go I guess! Had a good time with it for sure, I’ll probably be thinking about them for a while

This book is like a creeping vine that wraps its way slowly around you until you realize you’re trapped. It’s a deeply unsettling story of two girls who form a toxic friendship, twisted in on itself by fame, ambition, and desire. Even though I feel like I saw some things coming, it still made my heart pound. Chilling in a good way.
