• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

This book was almost too dark for me to finish. I was incredibly uncomfortable when the main character started doing drugs with her 13 y/o sister. The author definitely meant for us to be uncomfortable but I was on the verge of not finishing the book over it and how much it made me dislike Camille.

1.0

boring, predictable. weirdly detailed descriptions of a 13 year old girls body and constantly comparing it to a woman’s body. use of a slur against trans people.
