I was very very tempted to DNF.
The dialogue was very unrealistic and felt sort of like what a child would think adults talk about. Both main female characters were written like manic pixie dream girls. It honestly felt unrealistic how unlikeable each character was - like a real person would have something redeemable. There are also some frustrating points of extreme unrealism (beyond the dialogue).
I agree with other reviews that really not much happens in the book, and not in a cool way.
One trigger warning to be aware of that’s hard to cover with tags:The protagonist is drinking, at times heavily, while pregnant. This is part of a really intense and seemingly not purposeful self destruction arc.
