At first this book and main character felt very juvenile and I thought I would DNF. Once the main character grew up in their narrative, it became easier to listen to. By the last half or third I was enjoying it.

4.5⭐️ Ugly cried! I felt like I was reading someone’s diary. It felt intimate and flawed, resulting in me being ANGRY with Lucy for her choice(s). But this was a complex phenomenal read, and even though I knew what was going to happen in the end I still felt unprepared. All the emotions for this book.
