It was tough to read through. Some of the books appeal was the mundane and extreme detail with which the author described Lee's life, but at times this was also what made it seem to drag on a lot. 

The main character is extremely ordinary, and not in that "I don't think I'm anything special but actually am" way but genuinely as average as they come. Nothing extraordinary or particularly fun happens to her, and at times I forgot the main characters name because of how little other people use it.

As frustrating as Lee Fiora can be, her narration is the most relatable portrayal of self inflicted isolation and loneliness I’ve ever read, and other passages show the thought patterns of talking yourself into emotions and “crushes” in a way I have never before seen represented.
