the way every sentence was addressed like he was talking to her was fucking sick i loved it it was so well written. its in second person like we’re in the head of this demented fucker its amazing
everyone in this book was a piece of shit. but everyone was so well written (minus peach she was a bit 1 dimensional but that may be on purpose idk) . everyone had such bad ISSUES like beck babes rlly needed therapy
this was a bit dragged out like i think a lot of parts could’ve been removed but pretty good. joes character was written so fucking good i was rooting for him and then complete 180 and i fucking hate him but love him?? she did an amazing amazing amazing job writing joe and becks arc.
this defo wasnt perfect but its nearly a 4 star its just 100 pages could've been reduced like there was a whole like 20% where joe and beck didn't interact it was like off idk but the writing was good and i loved the use of like popculture refs and flaws that many ppl have, like i can see parts of beck and benji in me, to show that this could very well become a real story, not just fiction.
+ not nice references abt taylor swift but im happy she was mentioned Lmao
ik a lot of ppl see the point of this is like oh social media bad! and shit but like idk i didn't see a way beck could've avoided joe's inevitable obsession. like obvs she posted everyt and that gave him a way to learn shit but like i feel like he wouldve found them out anyway
decent social commentary but if it was deeper, rating defo goes up
3.5 stars!!!
looking back id defo give it 4 i think abt this book alllll the time!
