there was a perfect amount of side characters and they all added so much to the plot in exactly the right moments. I wouldn’t say the writing is extremely mind blowing but it’s done in a way to keep you engaged.
definitely one of my favourite books i have read this year and I’m definitely going to watch the show because i haven’t yet :)

its a fast paced, easy read book that anyone could get into, it was a bit dark but I think that was Teviss' goal, the themes of mental illness, addiction, adoption and feminism are well done in my eyes. I dont know if anyone else thought that Beth was autistic but that was a strong vibe I was getting. However :( , this book is soo obviously written by a man who has no clue about young women, tbh it was a bit annoying. plus all the characters had deep flaws which make most of them unlikeable and the ending was predictable. ♡
