First world white girl problems. Not a single likable character in the book.
I knew nothing of this book going into it. As someone who has been both depressed and suicidal most of their life, as well as someone who knows everything's relative, I still found this book to be completely trash and almost insulting (bigotry aside).
...
Upon further reflection, this is one of the worst books I've ever read.
