This book is my second best read of 2023. While I don't share the character's main struggle of teen pregnancy there were times where it felt like the author pulled thoughts straight from my teenage mind. If you're a fan of "girl vs the void" stories this is definitely for you, if you liked Milkfed by Melissa Bromer this is for you. I definitely know it won't be everyone's cup of tea but it certainly is mine and I look forward to rereading it.
