taraaleitz's review against another edition
The first page had be already wanting to stop reading, but I persisted for a whole 30 pages before deciding I really didn’t like this book. The characters aren’t likable, so it makes reading a very unlikable plot extremely difficult. There’s so substance to the story—it seems to be just a lot of pointless drama, materialistic tendencies, and overall extremely superficial.
The main character is Lucy and the whole book (I believe—again I only read 30 pages, plus skimmed some) is based around her unhealthy “relationship” with a boy named Stephen that she can’t fully get over. Stephen boasts in the thrill of chasing after a girl and making her fall for him, finds satisfaction in pursuing multiple women at a time, and very much sexualizes women.
I am not interested in entertaining this read anymore—even reading the first 30 pages was too many pages for me. Some may say that I didn’t give this book a chance, but I tried skipping ahead to read some more of the context to see if it’s all more of the same.
Moderate: Misogyny, Toxic relationship, and Eating disorder
Minor: Sexual content
