emmah_reads's review against another edition
3.5
I felt like there were too many plot points in this book - could have done without the career plot line and definitely without
Spoiler
the graphic depictions of sexual assault and eating disorder plot lineThe exploration of societal expectations and norms of adulthood, and the challenges of pushing against them, was more interesting and the more compelling aspect of the narrative. The author makes really astute observations on partnership and platonic love through Violet’s story, but they get a little lost in everything else that this book is trying to do.
