Protagonist was insufferable and awful to everyone in her life. Not enough growth/character arc to make up for how frustrating the majority of the book was.

A “new adult” coming of age story, not sure I would have finished it if it wasn’t for bookclub, but I did end up liking it more than when I started. I wouldn’t say it was my cup of tea, but I do prefer reading Australian neurotic twenty-something romance, it made the cringe a bit more relatable. I switched to the audiobook about a third of the way through and enjoyed that more. 
Sex and the city vibes but less problematic.
