I hated this book from page 1 but kept reading because work was slow and it was the only book I brought with me. 

Idk why so many details needed to be repeated so often. Most of my memory of this book is that she was the only girl in the architecture college, which was the second most prestigious at the university, and she took a pink pill. 

Like holy crap I could have made a drinking game out of how often those 3 statements got repeated. 

Everything about this book drove me nuts. The wind could blow and she would be on the verge of a panic attack.
Nothing truly actually made sense. Town on the bottom of the cliff. Got it. Go up the cliff and the roads are flooding??? What?

I tried so hard to like this book. The main plot wasn’t terrible, but it was obvious, therefore super aggravating that it took 8 years for the characters to figure it out. 

For the whole book to only span a month is just.. why?? Why was FMC such a terrible person???
