This was such a waste of time. Like I'm okay with reading books with no plot, but the characters need to be strong. And for an entire novel where we're in the character's head, I literally can't tell you anything about her. Like it was also kind of icky where she acted and read like a 10-year-old but was cursing and talking about sex.
