Another example of my love for freaking weird books and it was awesome. Dark academia vibes plus a "what the hell?" plot. Magnificent. Add in some mean girl action and a bit of a fever dream narrative and I am ALL set. It's a little Heathers with a touch of Donnie Darko.

If you like weird books, jump right in. Don't read the synopsis, just go for it. I went in not knowing a whole lot and it was just the way I needed it. If I had known much about where the plot was going it would have taken a lot of the fantastic gut punch out of the plot. As it was, I was in a perpetual state of "did that just happen?" while having a huge smile plastered on my face. Does that say something twisted about me? Because man this was dark and creepy and I loved every second of it.
