Basically don’t meet your heros, in essence it’s all about the glorification of cetain ppl and having an unconditional admiration for them due to diefying them…
<spoler> M shoul have thrown Ls ass out so many times, being in a possition of power but the obsession kept her in it and i found that aspect of her charachter equally compeling and frustrating, didn’t make me like her any lees as a character tho
The book has a rly compeling midsection end buildup to the end… the biggining and ending of the book i found were it’s weakest parts tho… not bad by any means , just compared to the rest a bit underwhelming

This book took me absolutely forever to finish. I couldn’t connect to the story or characters in the way I wanted to. For some reason it was difficult for me to keep track of the story. Although, that could be because I could only get through a few pages a time. 

Some really good quotes though
