C'est beaucoup de traumas en un seul livre, l'histoire était pourtant bien partie, un groupe de quatre amis, la belle vie. Mais non, de plus l'autrice n'est pas renseignée sur les maladies telles que la dépression, qu'elle utilise tout le long du roman. Je pense que c'est une volonté de traumatiser ses lecteurs, il était tout de même bien écrit, l'intrigue était bonne mais trop de détails et TROP de tout en fait

Very difficult to pinpoint how i feel about this book. Beautifully written, but full of trauma-porn.
