Christian Slater is an active threat among lesbians.

I had been recommended this book many times for my interests in horror, especially surrounding the Heathers-esque clique that is the Bunnies. I did enjoy it a lot!

While it took me a bit to feel any sort of sympathy for Samantha, she eventually grew on me. Thankfully, the story does set up pretty much everyone to be insufferable so it felt easier to detach from liking her and more just enjoying where the story was headed. Of course, I’m also terrible at predicting plot twists (and now that I’ve finished this story, it was so obvious) but I was very moved by the novel’s denouement.

Ultimately, I would recommend this story to angry women. It is very reminiscent of the 2012 writer era as well, which I found incredibly entertaining.
