it was pretty good, I read this in one sitting (overnight, not the best idea but the beginning was too gruesome to go to sleep on)
I'm just tired of the snarky, burnt out, cynical, depressed millennial adult fiction narrator idk! maybe it's just me but I could use a change. also not sure if I was just tired but the ending was a bit rushed imo
also don't blame teenage girls (MINORS) for the actions of adult men it just seemed a little slutshamey/victim blaming to me.... I know by the end Maryanne is showed to be a victim SORT OF BUT LIKE. ugh it was uncomfortable to read some of the characters talking about this 17 year old like that even though I know the author was probably trying to make the point that she was a kid and a victim
