Audible read. 

Honestly I had higher hopes for this book but it just fell flat and intensely irritated me to no end. The main character is so narcissistic, judgemental and has the worst victim mentality. She is constantly going on about how juvenile, irresponsible, spoiled, and even dumb she thinks bella is while also acting as if she's the only one who could ever love her correctly. She is immensely controlling and borderline obsessed with her "best friend" yet betrays her the first chance she gets and has the audacity to act like she couldn't have possibly stopped the outcome. It gave "Serena Van der woodsen" vibes.

Overall, this book felt like the bad aftertaste of Natto. Bella, Greg & David deserved better.
