I wanted to like this book so bad. It's got all the ingredients of a book I should like, but the main character is such an awful person, and not in the awkward, teenager-making-mistakes way, either.
She spends most of the book judging her father for an affair, and then turns around and cheats? Like make it make sense, because it doesn't. Never mind the race issue that are brought up, but just completely glossed over.


Overall, this is just a mess. It's been a very long time since I've actively despised a main character this much.
