I really can't fully understand the feelings this book made me feel. But for one thing, it was amazing how it kept me entertained with literally no plot and as I like to think with the ending no character development. You see, with the very privileged life the heroine has, her traumas and her way of thinking I don't really believe she changed. Anyways, the reading experienc was definitely something, especially with everyone being unlikable.
