idk if it's because I read majority of this in the middle of the night but I was genuinely creeped out reading this. I really enjoyed it, but I wish there was more to the conclusion.

pretty much just vile people doing vile things for the sake of being vile, but thats Ottessa Moshfegh for you.

on a real note though, the vibes in the first half CARRIED. I'm not sure why but I kinda got disinterested in the second half, so that's why I bumped it down to 3.5 stars. still love ya though Ottessa you brilliantly sick woman.

soooo funny. I wish it wrapped up a little better though

3.75. something i've learned about me is I really enjoy time travel mixed with themes of family/relationships. so wholesome with a good balance of fun and sad.

also loved the acknowledgements

3.5. I think I'm biased because I loved the movie when I was a teenager. (yikes)

I liked the vibes but i wish the narrators weren't the little weirdo neighborhood pervs. I don't mind that aspect of the story itself because it really paints the picture of how “elusive” the girls seem to be, but I definitely would've preferred an omniscient narrator.

anyways, rip to the Lisbon sisters y'all would've loved Lana Del Rey.
