I finished this whole piece with lump in my throat and a sinking feeling in my stomach. it was really hard to read it especially how the author used the second person view to bring you closer to the text. I loved how it didn't feel exaggerated for even a minute throughout the book and was actually something a lot of people relate to/go through over time. Loved it!

This is such an interesting read! I’m happy I picked it up while in Ireland. The second person voice is super interesting and it did really feel like a lot of things about the youth of the main character can be applied to my life. The emotions and confusion that is part of being a teen girl in time of the internet and overly sexualised imagery are so intimate and little, but that is what makes them so real.
The only thing I could say is that the resolution of the book felt swift and disjointed. I feel like there could’ve been a more feminist way to end this book without the character having this typical relationship ending.
