Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me by Mariko Tamaki

3.0

---

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did, but something about the main character being one of the shittiest friends ever just ruined it for me. She learns to be better, but. I'm not sure how her friends could forgive her so quickly? She also felt as 2D as Laura Dean to me. Maybe I should give her grace because she's a teenager, so she's figuring herself out. And instead of figuring herself out, she's dating someone who's shitty. So. I don't know. It's a good book, but it really was not for me at this time. Don't go into the book expecting to like the MC. Go into it expecting a good story and lovely illustrations.
