2.0
- not a fan of the narration style
- first five chapters are kinda redundant; five character introductions but every character is a cliche and they all want to “get away from this town”? please.
- this book lacks subtlety??? like oh a character named Ruby Valentine? gosh i wonder what color her hair is and oh it’s red because of course it is
parker being the one who recorded the video was the reveal i didn’t realize was a reveal lmao you’re telling me the obsessive rich ex-boyfriend who has abusive tendencies is the one who was spreading the video of the girl who rejected him? no way dude /s and mind you there are like 7 characters total like who else could it have possibly been idk that whole part was written weird like why are any of the characters so shocked? are they all that naive or just dumb? only thing that really saves this book is ruby and her father but that’s like one chapter all the way at the end - sometimes this book felt like it was written by a man idk
- there were some parts when it would start to get good but then it just doesn’t v frustrating
- rant over thanks for reading xx
Moderate: Sexual harassment, Suicidal thoughts, and Suicide attempt
