How Do You Like Me Now? by Holly Bourne
4.0
I really enjoyed this book. Tori was written in a very realistic way and I was so happy when she finally left Tom. Lots of her characteristics: looking to social media for validation, idolising celebrities, overthinking lots of things were pretty damn relatable for people nowadays.
Social media and our relationships with our phones obviously features heavily in the book. This is one of the first books I've read where social media and phones are blended into the story seamlessly, rather than it feeling clunky or a bit fuddy duddy.
Tom was such an horrible boyfriend- but he was also completely realistic. Gaslighting Tori into thinking she's being unreasonable and hysterical when she just wants to talk about future things in a calm and rational way. The forced blowjob was absolutely disgusting, as well as his awful attempt at reciprocating. Being so two-faced when alone with Tori and then with other people. These are totally things that I've had happen or know of happening to close friends.
