I liked the premise of this book and really wish it had been better, the writing was good, it was a good read, but- The main character (and one of the main secondary characters) is awful. In short- unprofessional, self absorbed, irresponsible, immature, mean. I kept thinking there’d be some big turning point where she realizes what an asshole she is and changes, but no. Body shaming, complete lack of personal responsibility, no empathy or concern for anyone else (including her supposed best friend and love interest) but all we hear is how strong she is, how caring. Where??
