This book is definitely not for everyone. If you can’t handle insufferable protagonists don’t even give this book a try you won’t like it. However, if you can see past a kinda creepy main character and wild plot points i think this is a fun read at the end of the day. What i got out of it was a story centering around the concepts of teenage selfishness, grappling with the loss of childhood, and fear of growing up.

I struggled so much to finish this book and there were many times where I was tempted to add it to my dnf list. The entire book is about this girl who is obsessed with the life of Lizzie Lovett (for stupid reasons in my opinion) and she even goes so far as to date her mourning boyfriend. I found the adult/minor relationship really creepy and I got so frustrated every time someone would mention this to Hawthorn and she’d get defensive. I felt that Hawthorn was the reason for all of the issues she had and every stupid action she’d take made me stop reading for a while just to cool off. I’m so happy that I finished it though because the ending was a lot better than the rest of the book. This isn’t the worst book but I personally wouldn’t recommend it.
