 This book is essentially I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver- if it was a dumpster fire. I've never hated a protagonist more. So "not like other girls," pessimisstic, stubborn, overall an ASSHOLE. Literally I feel so bad for her mother and it's not even real omg. Cliche book that ends with a prom scene. Only plus is that it's fat queer rep. This author is so obsessed with Harry Potter it is nauseating.
