I feel like the majority of the individuals who hate this book don't realize it's satire and the author writes this way on purpose. The purpose is to make us understand that the so called narrator isn't as innocent as she seems and the story she is running with - the one she deems is the truth versus the other narratives. This book is graphic though so proceed with your own risk.
Graphic: Sexual assault, Cultural appropriation, Grief, Sexual violence, Toxic friendship, and Rape
