This book grew on me the more I read it. Very interesting coming of age story; however, the ending was kind of abrupt and disappointing.

A really weird want to be Glee x Euphoria type of book.
The MFC tries way too hard to be Rachel Berry.
Her co-workers make their job site seem like the Euphoria set.
There was a decent amount of good language, and it made me crave coffee, red wine & dark chocolate.

I couldn't put this book down but it isn't without its darkness and heaviness. As someone who has lived in NYC, I felt so connected to this book and how it made me feel about the city and living there.
Moderate: Drug use, Death of parent, and Sexism
