3.0

Unnamed narrator is annoyingly relatable. What she endured for “love” is nauseating to read, I found myself tense throughout almost the entire book. Her view of herself is painful and sad to read about but something I think a lot of people can relate to, especially in their early 20’s. Not a light read, but broken up into good, digestible sections, almost like journal entries.
