No clue why people like this so much. Literally nothing happens, you just hear about which drugs the main character took that day to sleep as much as she could, what movies she watched, and listen to her complain about how much she hates her "best friend". She's not supposed to be a likeable character, but goddamn!! And so so boring. Do not recommend. This is a PSA: NEVER LISTEN TO THE BOOKTOKERS. Lesson learned. Again.
