That was exactly the book I needed to read right now. I could not put it down and that’s the first time that’s happened in a while! This book was beautifully written and nailed the inner monologue of a teenage girl. It’s hard to like the protagonist, Lucy, at times but you understand her struggle and desperation which is deeply gut wrenching. Glad she didn’t end up with Susannah though! If you liked Normal People you’ll probably also like this and you should read it cause I want a film adaptation.
