Some aspects of the characters and their personalities I felt very genuine and queer, like people I know. But uh. Whoa. Everyone was so insufferable to read about. Also… The Instagram live part?? Did not see that coming? Also the ending was not v satisfying to me

I wanted to like this book a lot, the beginning was fun and I loved how bitchy and judgmental the narrator was!! but by the time I got halfway through the book it became pretty exhausting. Lots of paragraphs that felt like random words strewn together that fell flat to me. None of the characters really did anything, and by the end of the book I was mostly left wondering if there had been any plot at all. The narration style was interesting and I did enjoy the first half of this book, but after the thriftstore scene it felt like a slog to get through.
