What Girls Are Made Of by Elana K. Arnold

2.0

i dont get this book. it starts off interesting and then it flipflops between, compelling, and, what the actual fuck. i dont mind when a book asks deep questions or get realistic or even dark. but this book is just uncomfortable to me, all the fucking way through. why is there so much mention of fucking? why is nina so terrible? why is she doing all these things that make absolutely no sense? i just dont get it. there are some things i like, like the abortion scene, mainly because i think its supposed to be the moment nina changes, and it slightly worked.i like bekah and the abortion people at the clinic. but nina is the main problem. she starts out unlikable and you think halfway through, oh, shes gonna get better! no. she doesnt. her only friend is terrible by rubbing it in her face that shes broken up with seth, seth is fine, and he actually realizes his girlfriend is terrible so hes okay. apolloina sounds like the girl who should be the main character. like everything comes back to her and for some reason she isnt the mc. tf? i wanted to like this book and it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
