What a weird fucking book haha I really loved this, in a sick sort of way. The story unravels as our narrator unravels. The writing is a bit sultry, a bit perverted. The plot is nonsensical while also being very linear and narrow in scope. On its face this is a story of one semester (it seems at least to be one semester or one year) in an unique academic writing program right before graduation. The story takes place on an elite college campus, who is known for their extremely sought after creative writing program. Our narrator and her....classmates are in this workshop together, blurring the lines between reality and what their minds can create. 

Some parts of the prose are odd and take you out of the story a bit. I also felt like the beginning third is a bit slower in pace. But overall a really weird book but I quite enjoyed it.
