with the drugs, fucking one of her very few friends, and then really lost me when she licked the blood off her very toxic love interest’s arm out of the blue (at work!) and then turns around and let’s him finger bang her in a cab right after he called her a whore. I accidentally discovered an event that happens towards the end (she sleeps with her boss that is twice her age) and that was the knockout blow that made me drop it for good.Graphic: Alcohol, Alcoholism, Drug abuse, Drug use, Sexual content, Gaslighting, Toxic relationship, Emotional abuse, Toxic friendship, and Bullying

The story builds slowly but that’s the point of the theme. For the MC, life is both fleeting and stagnant, and the author pairs this nicely with her youth and the MC’s over-absorbency of emotions. It’s a coming of age story in the sense that lessons are bitter but with time they sweeten. At times you’ll find the characters cringy, but aren’t we all at one point in time? How human it is to be a “sponge.”
