i read most of eves books last summer. i don’t remember them so well - not because i didn’t love them but because i read them in a hot daze and they are all so rich with gossip i cannot tell them apart from memory. this i do remember loving. will reread

inspiring reflective medium-paced

Book club pick. Parts of this were extremely relatable and full of insights on your 20s — partying too hard, choosing a new path, friend breakups, avoiding things so hard and when they happen, you wonder why you made such a big fuss. But there also PLENTY of parts where I felt frustrated by the main character and her inaction. I think the title might throw people off here.. the description is also extremely misleading, this is a very LA book!!

Not only is this boring, but the MC is so insufferable and privileged it really took me out of it. The way it’s structured and written is terrible too. This is for people who love Sex and the city AND their favorite character is Carrie Bradshaw. That’s the explanation. Just shallow drivel
