I liked that the book was about friendship and didn’t really habe romance in it.
I couldn’t connect with the characters at all. Caddy was annoying and so stupid I would be SO different if i was in her situation, and I‘m younger than her… Her parents- god! Her feeling left out in the beginning was relatable tho :( she kinda does it to herself sometimes tbh
I never like Suzanne, i know what foul and bad things will happen from the very beginning! She was also so selfish but in the end she realized that and I’m happy the way it ended. (Her not going back bc Caddy tried to persuade her- which was a shit thing to do)
Rosie was sometimes relatable sometimes not. Sometimes a bad friend who was mean idk.

The book deals with alot of heavy trauma stuff.

There were definitely some sad moments in here, and I got three pretty good quotes out of it. Caddy, for me, is one of those narrators that you wish wasn’t the narrator. Personally, I found her annoying and selfish. Has this book been in a third person P.O.V, maybe it would have been more enjoyable to me, but alas it wasn’t.
