The girls all *seem* so nice here!
Ten years ago, Ambrosia arrived at Wesleyan University for the first time. She was desperate to fit in to her strange new world of the elite, rich and beautiful. And when she meets Sully, she might finally have a new friend to lean on and bring her into the spotlight. She's intoxicating, stunning, and very dangerous.
Now, having grown so much in the last decade, it's time for a class reunion - but can Amb face the old life she's left behind without being drawn back in? Her life now is unrecognisable from the one she once had and she's desperate for them not to collide because if they do ... something will explode.
This was a deliciously dark, twisted tale about betrayal, obsession and jealousy that kept me under a constant dark cloud, drawing me in. Delving into the dangers of possessive and obsessive relationships, and just how easy it can be to fall for someones fatal charms.
Jumping between Ambrosias' current life and the dark shadow of her past - we get to slowly, painfully fill in the pieces of her former life and highlight the stark contrast and growth between who she is and who she once was. Unlike a lot of books that straddle dual timelines, neither one gets forced into the background and the momentum keeps building from the first page. Almost every single person we meet was deeply dislikable and flawed, so painfully real and perfectly terror-inducing. They're uncomfortable, vindictive and unsettling - and you won't be able to look away.
This is Mean Girls like you've never seen it before - riveting, infatuating and disturbingly devastating.
