I liked it. It definitely reads like someone whose main writing has been online, but like, I love the internet or whatever.

Took way too long to get to the road trip described in the blurb. Also could not stand the main character.

Basically it is the main character complaining about her life, whining about this and that.  She dabbles in heroin, and states she not going to get addicted even though she has a large stash. When the story continues and you meet the next character James, I sighed in relief that I didn't have to listen to her anymore, and then grimaced when she walked back into the story.
If the author wrote 'like' any more times, I would like literally, like throw the book, like right out of the window, and like right into the garbage can. And you would like applaud me or something like that. 
Horrible writing style.
And the copy editor, who was probably like stoned or something, like missed a major plot error.
In one section, they are going to go to Reno. James say I'm not old enough to drink.  Maria casually says 'I have heroin.'
They go to Reno and Maria says lets go to the casino and get free drinks.  That's been the plan every time *he's* been to Reno.  Who is he?  James isn't old enough to drink so never did that.  Was it before Maria transitioned?
