This book just seems like the author was putting every word crossing her mind on the paper, without caring for coerence on what she was writing. The only times I enjoyed the book was when there was a little plot going on. 

The story follows a character who I definitely did not like, she is drowning in negative thoughts and always thinking that somehow she is destined to be lonely and abandoned. Pretty sure she suffers from some mental illness (literally).


It got more interesting when the other charachters were presented but still meh.
