Dear god this was awful. I hated having first person narration from a pathological liar. It is so hard to be invested in a story when half the exposition is a lie. If I have to read “Okay, that was a lie” ONE MORE TIME, I’m gonna throw the book across the room. I was hopeful for the setup—I thought once she met her Life, it would be like an Ebenezer Scrooge journey through everything. But then she bailed on him and went back home? I just knew I couldn’t slog through more pages of her being awful and avoiding her problems, so I’m giving up.
