i kind of relate to unnamed narrator in the way that i also want to sleep all the time. she kinda camp ngl. i get that the whole point was that she was insufferable bc of her privilege but she was hella annoying sometimes. still a baddie tho. ending felt a little forced idk. reva was so annoying but their friendship was so interesting to me like. they loved eachother ?? i felt kinda bored in the middle this shit took so long to get through. i liked her revaluations at the end it was probably the best part.
