2.0
to me very disappointing. I think the book is supposed to be funny. I did not laugh. To me it was depressing to read and I thought the protagonist was annoying and self-involved to a cringe-worthy extent. I generally love coming of age books especially when talking from a diverse perspective featuring POC protagonists but this was just boring and in my opinion poorly written. 2 stars only because it`s nice to see books with this topic and storyline.
Graphic: Mental illness, Physical abuse, Violence, and Medical trauma
The book contains very graphic sex scenes that portray abusive sexual behaviour and partially deals with mental health/illness
