Goodness, I love this book. At times grueling to read when it showcased female trauma in all its myriad forms, but always worth the journey. Beautifully told, fucking hilarious, and impossible to put down. I fucking love this book and know I’m going to revisit it over the years for its universal truths.

Kept me hooked, and I enjoyed reading it. Humour could be a little cringe and sometimes just jarring, also swear there’s a recycled joke in there? The characters were fun though and the story accomplished what it set out to do.
