Overall an enjoyable read, but it started to feel like it was dragging on in the latter part of the book. I do enjoy a thoroughly unlikeable narrator - and Grace is - but I do feel like this book could have done with some editing for a tighter, more intense reading experience as there are more than a few rambling paragraphs. The idea was good, and when the plot moved along I enjoyed it, but the execution wasn't quite there.
Graphic: Death, Misogyny, Murder, and Abandonment
Moderate: Drug use, Sexual content, and Toxic friendship
