I'm giving this half a star and that is literally so generous. That half-star only comes from the fact that there are some quotes in this book that I like. Other than that, this book was a nightmare to read. The main character is extremely mentally ill and it follows an almost Dear Evan Hansen-like plot where she gets a job and starts impersonating a dead woman because she doesn't want that dead woman's friend to feel sad. I literally don't have anything else to say other than I only read this book because my best friend was like "Please, read this, I hated it," and I have to finish books out of spite. One of the only positives is that this book is short. But there are no consequences for any of the main characters actions and nothing is resolved at the end.
I am glad that the cat didn't die though.
