I thought this book was really well written. The MC is an awful person, but like a dumpster fire you can’t look away from. Interesting and critical exploration of white feminity/ sexuality. Even though I enjoyed all these technical components, I am glad that it’s over and I don’t think I will be rereading.

Captivating in a stressful way! Alex, the protagonist in this book, is our modern day messy disaster that we strangely root for. Moreso to find some relief to the cringey and terrible positions she puts herself in. Looking forward to reading more of Cline’s books!
