This book made me violentttt
So one of my best friends recommended this book because she loveddd it and while I understand why she did - I definitely didn’t as much
I think for me one of the major things was just how unlikeable all the characters are? Literally besides Deb every single other major character is incredibly unlikeable at one point or another - and that’s especiallyyy true with Marcus
Like truly what an absolute piece of shit
Anyways - overall I’m glad I read this for the most part and saw what my friend meant but also ya definitely not 100% for me
