I’m so curious about that ending
as I interpreted it to be open ended. Does Mark’s call suggest she loses her resolve and stays for a man? I wanted closure damn it!

I respected what this book did but I didn't enjoy reading it. 
Go into this expecting unlikable characters and a lot of sex scenes. Honestly the sex scenes felt like self harm to me. 

Jena was a very difficult protagonist. She's still very young but due to her previous status as a child prodigy she struggles to find any real fulfillment. It's hard to 'watch' her make bad decisions for attention. 

This is very slice of life. There isn't really a plot carrying you through.
