The misogyny and detailed descriptions of minors bodies ruined the story

oof

obvi made me feel very icky and parts were hard to listen to. But well written and kept me hooked. i found the main character and her navigation of the world very interesting even if i was having a hard time listening to her experiences 

idk i felt good about the final twist in the moment but now thinking back the resolution after her mom got arrested felt very rushed. but like idk what else would go there so maybe it’s good


side note i guess it’s profitable blah blah blah but i feel a screen adaptation of this would not at all come off with the nuance it had here im surprised a show exists

other side note: great voice actor

Thought I had this book all figured out and I didn’t see it coming at all!! Truly beautifully written, but haunting.
