Funny and full of drama. The characters feel like real people and you’re the normal friend listening to them tell you how they’re fucking up their lives.

First of all, this book had no quotations when characters were talking which was honestly very confusing. I never knew if it was all in the main character’s head or actual dialogue. The book seemed to have a lot of hype for something that was actually mid.

3.0

this is a complex book with a deep writing style. you will need to concentrate at times to be able to grasp it but it is very good! Frances (main character and only pov) can get very irritating at times I find. yet it's good because it allows you to bond more slowly with her as if she were a real person, and she also knows she isn't a perfect person always in the right, which is refreshing.

most of it is mild, maybe one scene or two, others there is a more consistent theme of the topic for example the self harm. it's not incredibly detailed or talked about a lot but it is there.
