I found this riveting like a soap opera or a reality show, but I don’t think I really enjoyed it. It gave me weird pop culture flashbacks. It made me feel like I was in middle school all over again, like reading old diaries. But it’s really well written and captivating. I’m not sure if I would read more or read this again but I think it will stick with me.
