Weird, complex, queer, interesting. This book sent me on a rollercoaster of emotions and for some strange reason I found myself relating to Jessa despite the fact I'm a 17-year-old, and she's 30 something years old it might be the fact that both of us have a pretty much nonexistent social life. I enjoyed this book, and it's definitely more than meets the eye Ps I am sorry for traumatizing you when telling you about this book at book club AJ

I probably also relate it jessa because we’re both lesbians
