This is a book about how hard it is to be a human being sometimes. Especially those early years of adulthood when you haven't quite found yourself yet.
The strange thing is that none of the characters are likeable, but neither are they unlikeable. This is firstly a reflection of all of us all, as I aluded to earlier, but also a reflection of how good the writing is because I felt I knew each of the main players intermety.
I would suggest going into this fairly blind plot wise and letting the story unravel itself before you. However, one important theme is women's reproductive health/rights.
If you like a twisy, turny book about messy relationships, which aren't always romantic, then this one is far you.
