always interesting to see into the mind of a substance abuser, which the main characters definitely is. 

she is also unlikeable but you still find yourself becoming attached to her despite her infuriating personality.

I had high hopes for this book and a quarter of the way through I was convinced I hated it and it wasn’t for me. Then all of the sudden something just clicked and I found it hilarious and entertaining.

There’s almost horror genre elements to depict mental illness and I loved how that was Integrated

The ending wasn’t satisfying but I kinda like how this book makes you think about it I really was in the drug trip with her. 

(I did feel like there was some kinda racist remarks that did bother me even though I’m pretty sure it was to show how how privileged the narrator is but it felt a bit unnecessary at times)
