when i had abt 20 pages left, i knew that would be the make or break on whether it gets 3 stars or not. unfortunately i hated the ending, considering i finished it abt 10 hours ago and only remember feeling incredibly annoyed but now i cant even remember how it ended. i know you’re not supposed to like any of the characters, but if you aren’t supposed to like the characters you at least have to like the plot, and i didn’t like the plot. i thought it was a bit pointless .. which might seem a bit harsh but it’s true, i didn’t rlly get what was meant to be going on and i couldn’t stand samantha’s constant flittering around internal monologue. i have enough of that in my own head that i don’t need to read it on a page. it felt way too long but that might’ve just been it’s repetitiveness. i get it’s satire against mean girls/cliques and what-not, but it just didn’t do it for me. the 2 stars are for the setting descriptions bc i thought those were beautiful and .75 for ava, because she was way too nice to samantha after everything. anyway this book was, like, so experimental. so artsy. so. you know?
