I ended up liking this book more than I thought I would. I found the protagonist pretty unlikeable, or at least hard to empathize with, at times. But she def grows as a character and becomes more in tune with herself, which ultimately is I think what the book is about. I think a strength of this novel is that it feels both unique and realistic. It wasn't too predictable, but the characters and situations felt like ones that could really exist.
