5.0
The novel really has a way of making you realize all of your own flaws by reading all the ways the characters fall short. How we all are victims to society and how we can be our own enemies sometimes. But in the end, it's okay. Because everyone on this earth does not match up to the expectations we make for ourselves. We are all shitty people in some way or form.
Graphic: Eating disorder and Toxic relationship
Moderate: Sexual content and Vomit
Minor: Sexual harassment
The writing style is just excellent. It really has a way of absorbing the reader into the story. And an amazing talent of making your sympathize with these flawed characters. (Except for some)
