![]() When I first started reading My Dearest Darkest it was definitely not it. I was on the verge of telling my reading partner that I was already wanting to throw in the towel because the writing did not vibe with me whatsoever. But as the cost of their wanting becomes more deadly, Finch and Selena must learn to work together to stop the horror they unleashed, before it consumes the entire island. It promises to grant every desire the girls have kept locked away in their insecure hearts―beauty, power, adoration―in exchange for a price: human body parts. ![]() One night Finch, Selena, and her friends accidentally summon a carnivorous creature of immense power in the depths of the school. But despite Selena’s suspicion, she feels drawn to Finch and has a sinking feeling that from now on the two will be inexplicably linked to one another. Clair sees right through Finch, and she knows something is seriously wrong with her. Finch doesn’t know why she woke up after her heart stopped, but since dying she’s felt a constant pull from the school and the surrounding town of Rainwater, like something on the island is calling to her. ![]() But something monstrous, and ancient, and terrifying, wouldn’t let her drown. Months before school started, Finch and her parents got into an accident that should have left her dead at the bottom of a river. Finch Chamberlin is the newest transfer student to the ultra-competitive Ulalume Academy… but she’s also not what she seems. ![]()

Really?! Or is it a horror film in disguise (no, no, no, just hear me out!) wherein body snatchers captivate the fragile minds of the youth, ensnaring them in major LSD consumption, "intersubjectivity," codependent thinking and a fantastical creation of genuine communal attachment? The hippies were a group that's just (if not more, at the time) self-aware & as conceited as all of them are. A mega doozy! A unique faux/dopey emblem of hippie Americana that blows angelic trumpets in your face with the celebration of a dadaesque topsy-turvy rover's lifestyle. ![]() ![]() It's heartbreaking and wonderful, discouraging and inspiring, often all at the same time.
