Fangirl Down by Tessa Bailey
3.0
this book is the traditional publishing equivalent to a straight-to-netflix-romcom-I-watch-on-a-random-Tuesday-night-at-1-am-but-never-recommend-because-i-forgot-it-exists-right-after-i-finished
overall cute. entertaining lil rom com. i wanted wells to punch someone in the face but maybe i just read too many dark romances to enjoy his ~growth~ (aka the ability to not punch someone in the face 🙄) There were someeee moments where Josephine gave “im not like other girls” butttttt overall she was funny and just wanted to live her life! Loved the HEA and i probably won’t pickup another series by Tessa but ill consider the sequel 😉

this book has me in a tizzy because I'M SORRY MISS AWAD WHAT DID I JUST READ?? and why did I love it so much?
samantha had me questioning what was real and what was made up and what/if she was imagining what was going on around her. it's like her mind was playing a game of self preservation to keep her from completely losing herself in her uppity new england graduate program.
i LOVED the Bunnies, loved them, those crazy culty and c*unty b*itches. they reminded me of the heathers (which is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time) except older and in an elite preppy writing program. and slightly more culty.
if you like unhinged women that get their lick back, culty movies, or a24 films, you would most likely enjoy this book.
