Ok I got tired of classifying which trigger warnings are minor or major so put almost all of them as moderate. Based on the trigger list the book might seem intimidating

A great book that would’ve been interesting even on its own, but the final reveal at the end and the messages it’s puts out into the world are what really make it great. It really gave a unique perspective on fame and the human behind it all.

At First I was Like this book is good but so overhyped. But at the end I couldn't put it down and I was so surprised like I did not expect that to be the reason why she choose Monique but I loved it! I Love the Character dynamics and it explored so many important topics Like love and grief or friendship I really loved it

3.75

it’s a very complex book, and while i like it i find some parts of it extremely problematic and stereotypical. there is biphobia that is never addressed or called out, and evelyn hugo’s existence as

bisexual

and latina is built on harmful stereotypes. while im not sure i like unreliable narrators, like evelyn hugo, i do like how realistic and complex the book becomes as a result of it.
