Characters were very unlikeable,  and it felt like they were shallow caricatures / archetypes instead of real people. Featured a lot of self destruction, abuse, addiction etc that just isn’t my cup of tea, particularly when romanticized.

Eu gostei tanto do final e dos temas desse livro que eu quase consegui ignorar os diálogos insuportáveis diretamente tirados de uma fanfic

Tempted to give an even lower rating, but some parts of this were okay. I did not get the hype around this - the first couple of pages read like insufferable fanfic dialogue. The chapters jump from character to character never really following up on anything or fleshing them out. The only pov I enjoyed was Zoë’s.
