This book was so mid, I’m annoyed at myself for not DNFing it because I kept hoping it would get better. Honestly, I’m considering going back to Wattpad.

Okay so I feel like this book gets a bad wrap. Is it perfect? No. Have I read infinitely more challenging and skilfully crafted stories? Yes. 
However, the writing style of the author is enjoyable and had me in stitches at the utter filth of it. In a time when things are so serious, this was a lighthearted lift that needn’t be overthought. 

I did think the larger issues such as EDs and family trauma were handled a little too lightly and were owed deeper analysis & integration in the plot.

Check content warnings!

I felt like there were too many plot points in this book -  could have done without the career plot line and definitely without

the graphic depictions of sexual assault and eating disorder plot line

! 

The 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.

I REALLY don't know what to say about this one! I was really enjoying it, and the bisexual representation was spot in, for the first time! There was this feeling though to me that the last 10% things happened that shouldn't have all happened so fast in my opinion, it was just really jarring and a little bit too neat. Overall I enjoyed the book, but there needs to be some major content warnings and I think serious themes such as EDs were just kind of thrown in flippantly and then ignored. I enjoyed the authors writing style but yeah< I am going to have to put more thought into this one!
