Everyone in this book sucks. Audrey is the only character with half a brain. The only reason I stuck with this book was because it had an intriguing premise, but it ended up being really disappointing. I’m glad this was a library book and I didn’t spend any money on it.

This book is strange.

I feel really weird about it. I can't stop thinking about it. I want to read it a million times. I never want to read it again. I want to, fuck i don't know. i don't know. i don't know. I'm glad i read it. i wish i never read it.

fuck. fuck. fuck....

I wish it was a little different from how it is. But if it was, would it be anywhere near as perfect? good? amazing? awful? right, it just feels right, as it is?

Sooo a lot of bad stuff happening in this book but if you’re not specifically traumatised by one the many topics in the content warnings, I would really recommend this book
