I very much understand why people told me not to read this but also I am so glad I did. We love a disturbingly relatable protagonist! Sprinkling of lovely sentences among many, many ugly ones. A book I can see myself returning to again and again (kinda bummed to have read it on Libby bc I lost all my highlights)

This book gave me a genuine migraine.

Edit:

I’ve been thinking about this book a LOT recently and honestly? Other than the ending, she kinda went off so I’ll give it a 3.5 star but I will put 3 stars on here.
