I had such high expectations from this book. The premise is great, the themes are interesting and touching and the characters are diverse and unique.
The main problem for me was the writing. Evrey metaphor was spoon fed to the reader and spelled out. Every podcast episode was boring and made me roll my eyes. It might've stayed cute without Grace spelling out to the reader exactly what everything ment and how we are suppose to feel and interpret it.
Mayb it a bit too bitcy, but anothe thing is that the characters did not acted like real humans. I can understand that some ppl call Grace by her full name all the time but why everyone? Why the fucking therapists?
All her friends were so fucking supportive even when she's being a toxic and just plainly bad a friend make no sense. I mean, Grace is clearly not a bad person and she nedded help but it just unrealistic for all the ppl she treating like shit to just be fine.
After the first chapter ( that was actually intriguing ) everything was so predictable. The romance was not existent and rushed. I was so bored reading this I nearly didn't finished. The interactions between all the characters were awkward and weird.
I know this book mean a lot to other people and I can see why, it's just not for me.
