3.0

Parts of this book made me laugh out loud and I resonate with it a lot as a millennial figuring out life right now. 

With that being said, I ended up DNFing this at 60% through, because there are so many characters and the dialogue switches back and forth so much, it became confusing and more of a task than anything. Also, the dialogue is just extremely negative and the relationships are so toxic-with all of that combined, this book just wasn't for me!
