4.0

This was such a page turner, I really enjoyed my time with this one. I particularly enjoyed this idea of ‘Cool Girl’ and the unreliable yet thought provoking discourse regarding feminism and misogyny. It was also just really entertaining and I found all of the characters unlikable to some extent but still very interesting. It was a solid October read.
