A lot of the book was just a bunch of people sitting around and judging others…. And when I say a bunch, I mean a confusing amount of characters and names. To be fair, I don’t think it helped that I listened to the book, but still; so many characters and names.
I actually really liked the ending, and I applaud Rachel for being the badass she is.

If you’ve seen the movie first, this is pretty different story-wise, but as in most cases, the book is better. :)
Minor: Sexual assault and Domestic abuse

There are a lot of characters to keep track of, but it gets easier through the book.
I would say the one issue I had was when Rachel believed these people she had just met instead of her mom. That made absolutely zero sense to me...
But the rest was great.
Note for the minor TW I have listed, they are mentioned as part of a story a charafter tells. But it's important to note they come up.
