what an incredible read!

so much more intense than I'd expected, it felt incredibly accurate even though I never struggled like Jayne. You'll get to see complicated family dynamics, mixed feelings all the time, not knowing what to do with life and wondering if you're the only one who never figure things out.

I loved all the pop-culture references and wish I could follow these characters for a long time after finishing it. 🖤

beware of the trigger warnings at the beginning, it truly is a wild ride. (also, I think the "when the party's over" quote was straight-up brilliant).
