This book. This fucking book is the reason why I hate star reviews. I hate how unfinished my review looks without a star review, yet at the same time my feelings towards Lucy are getting in the way of wanting to do anything more than 1 star, even though the visiral emotions it has drawn out of me showcase it really deserves so many more. To make a long story short, I settled on 3.5 stars, as it depends on where I am at emotionally if I want to rate it to 1 of 5.

I read a review of this book about how women judge each other, and how this may reflect our feelings towards Lucy. Listen, it doesn't. I'm cool with her hating everyone, because girl same. I'm cool with her sex drive, more power to ya lady - but maybe buy yourself some dignity while you're at it... But the bitch

let the dog die

, not only did she

let the dog die,

she

fucking killed him

, so fuck her, I wish she would have

went with Theo, and he drowned her ass

.

Okay, that felt good. now that I got all that off my chest, I can admit I loved how fucking brutally honest Lucy was. To the point I was intoxicated by her, my toxic friend I know I need to leave at the curb, and never look back.

Erotic, neurotic, and darkly funny, this book is certainly something.
