5.0

This is the kind of book that makes you think about life completely differently. It’s one of those books that you have to have a certain ability to think deeply and abstractly enough to understand that what the narrator is doing is not meant to set a positive example. I think it’s about the way we perceive life and what we think makes life worth living— it’s an uncomfortable book that is meant to make you wonder. This book also serves as a glimpse into the mind of those suffering from depression that abuse drugs to cope.

I loved it! There’s something so lonely about the main character, so human. I can see why some people hate the main character, ( that was the purpose ) but i couldn’t help but to root for her.

donaghys1's review against another edition

Otessa’s a good writer. But I’ve never met another protagonist I rooted so wholly against. I felt so edged by the little glimpses of her trauma, her grief. And to know nothing else would come of those fleeting moments was what caused me to put it down. I so wish I had loved this one… or even liked it…
