I think this is the perfect sort of book for people who listen to Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridges, like Ethel Cain is a little too intense for this reader, and they'd flinch from a tougher book but it does what it needs to do. It has a sort of "girls are pink and sharp" sort of energy that I find very boring. Great for a very specific sort of 24-28 yr old who's still horny for Kristen Stewart and can't quite handle a book that digs deeper. Idk! Maybe Tate's next book won't be so ... (Gestures vaguely)
