Cracked Up to Be by Courtney Summers

I read this book as an ebook so I couldn't see the page count, but it's hard to believe goodreads on the page count of this book. How is it so short? It took me ages to get through it. Probably because I had a lot of time focusing on it.
I just didn't connect with this book, which was a disappointment. I've read two of this author's books before, and liked both a lot more than this one. Both of her other books were impactful and intriguing. This one mostly left me cold. I feel like it took too long for the book to explain what had happened, and when it did, it didn't really feel satisfying. None of the characters felt real to me, and it really irritated me how Parker only seemed to know three people at her school. I understand that she was avoiding people, but it still felt strange to only see Chris, Becky, and Jake for most of the book.
This book failed to capture me in any way, really. I had trouble getting through it and nearly DNFed it. This one wasn't for me.
