I have a love hate relationship  with this book I think. I agree with everyone else who says the main character is insufferable but honestly she was so real for that tbh. Who wouldnt do drugs and sleep for most of the year if they had the money to do so. Every woman should read this book, but only if you're in the right headspace for it. Then afterwards read something silly to take your mind of it.
