I can't believe that I'm not seeing more about Maria Adelmann's How to Be Eaten because it is a goddam delight. Clear your weekend, pour yourself a glass of wine, and strap in for a shudderingly good read.more I don't want to give away any part of this novel's gorgeously constructed plot.

It's only a matter of time before things get bloody.Įvery detail fits together with a go-for-the-jugular elegance that weds sleek minimalism with painstaking construction, like a deceptively simple designer dress made of hundreds of carefully cut slips of fabric. The pair are unlikely friends until Bethany Ladd, the rock-star feminist scholar at their program, pits each against the other. Mac is middle class and relentlessly hard working, while Gwen seems to be handed every possible privilege on an Instagram-perfect platter.

This book fits beautifully into the 'dark academia' genre, with its two protagonists, Mackenzie Claire Woods and Gwen Whitney, representing grad school's opposite class spectrums. The story of a toxic friendship in a venomous grad school program, Bad Habits is a rollicking, smart, twisted novel that smolders with fury until its final pyrotechnic conflagration. This b Holy cats, I loved Amy Gentry's latest thriller, Bad Habits.
