I read this bc the cover was giving me unhinged female character a la bunny or myor&r with the hot pink and because I had Lucy dacus’ Night Shift stuck in my head when I found it in the bookstore so I thought it was a sign. I was mistaken. I found this book to be desperately unfulfilling and I like most of the books I read. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood for it but there are better books exploring unhealthy and messy female relationships that do it better imo. Wasn’t my cup of tea to say the least but I feel like if you’re in a messy self destructive obsessive girlboss era it might appeal?

Kind of … speechless right now. This was an emotional rollercoaster and so many of the scenes and sentences in this are so beautifully sad and deep and poignant. This felt to me like the universe apologizing for me reading my year of rest and relaxation (which I hate the further I get from it) — this book was an answer to that. It emotionally captured the same idea without being fucking miserable. This is a story for women in their twenties !!!!! Strongly recommend

Why the fuck did she get played twice lmaooooo

This book didn’t really click with me. I think the obsessive notion on the back of the book wasn’t really the driving force of the plot. The main character’s flaws and mistakes were more of a highlight in my opinion, which often left me irritated.
