1.0

The writing desperately tries to be funny, but fails so badly. (I actually cringed.)

I’m all for reading complex female characters, but Hanna is missing that oomph that makes me want to ever root for her.

She screams of insecurity, envy and bitterness.

And also seems to have a problem with EVERYONE in her life (eg her Dad who has gone out of his way to help her) and the basis for her reasoning (he has weird hygiene habits) seems so childish to me.

I’ve never read a more annoying voice.

The only redeeming character was Mary.
