Finally can understand what the Tiktok girlies have been talking about in relation to this book!
I feel I stand in the middle of all the opinions surrounding this book. It was a read that I couldn’t put down, but it was also difficult to read given the content of the book. In a way, I could relate to our main character but at the same time, I hated her so much. I was in a constant battle of empathising and questioning the feelings of our main character.
It was good! Would I pick it up again? Probably not? But it was a book that kept me occupied for the time I read it, which was what I was hoping for!
