Idk what to say really. Overall I did like this book but it took me forever to get through and I could not stand the main character. I almost stopped reading multiple times over what a bitch she was to her “best friend”. But overall a pretty good read

As the Lumineers said : “it’s better to feel pain, than nothing at all”. But, I too would like a year of rest and relaxation.

This was so good and also so…. Not good? I can’t find proper words to describe this experience ??????
