I didn’t expect to love this as much as i did. I found a lot of the characters were unlikable in different ways but i enjoyed it, sometimes i wanted to scream at certain characters though (looking at u penelope and shirley), they all felt like real people to me so even when I didn’t like the character I still enjoyed reading. I thought it was a well done exploration of race, class, age and gender and the different trials of adulthood.
I heard about the writing in a review I seen and I was worried about it not having punctuation but I found that to not really be an issue, I felt like it made the stories flow and I kept wanting to read on. Overall I really enjoyed this book and I wish I read it sooner.
