this book is reading like the common app essay of the most annoying person you knew in high school.
side note: the publisher of this book doesn't seem to exist. it seems deceptive to a) not say that you self-published the book and b) misspell "iconoclast" (knowing darn well there is an "iconoclast press") in your attributions.

i am so strongly disliking this book that i switched to pencil while i annotate so i can erase it when i inevitably resell it. i have never once done that, especially not for a book assigned by a professor.

the typos are CRAZY. who edited this for crying out loud. i am cringing out of my seat.

every chapter feels like "before i met this strange, mysterious, broody man that i love with my whole vagina, i lived with lisa. here is every excruciating detail about lisa and why i hate her and why i love her. lisa is barely relevant to the story except for proving why i am so different and messed up." jesus.
i can tell miss nolan read the SHIT out of "normal people". the sally rooney effect, everyone.

jade’s meditations on slasher movies and their relevance to her life are interesting… 1/4 of the way through, her way of translating her obsession w slasher movies into life in proofrock, idaho, are mildly disturbing. i appreciate the narration of a thriller book through the eyes of a teenage girl.

I love the Alice in Wonderland vibe. It has a lot of super relevant and cool references and also a tad of mystery that has intrigued me.

I love this book! It has such great writing style and the sweet innocence in it was fantastic.

I'm enjoying reading this book tremendously.
