I could not put this book down once I picked it up. I love the change in tone half-way through the book and I appreciate the author giving us one of the best monologues on the “cool girl” in the 21st century.

while the first half of the book is slow. The second half picks up quickly. It's a wild ride. Well written. But ultimately I was a little disappointed in the ending
