A queer, poc book about a girl who wants to be a writer and it all goes wrong.
Safe to say that it only goes wrong due to this characters decisions and her complete lack of accountability. She is selfish and cruel but believes herself to be the victim.
An unreliable narrator. This book is easy to read and the story somewhat enjoyable. We begin to root for her but the story falls short on all accounts because Mickey does not grow.
The ending falls flat.
