I started this book without reading anything about what it’s about. Was so confused on why the character was so unlikable for a good chunk in the beginning till i understood that was the point! The writing style was very eloquent and it was interesting to see the inner workings of the publishing a work of literature. Scored it a 4 for mostly the writing style. Felt for June in some parts but overall found her nauseatingly aggravating.
Graphic: Death and Cursing
Moderate: Gaslighting, Toxic friendship, Cultural appropriation, Racism, and Rape
