I forgot to write a review so I had to do a quick reread. The best thing about this book is exactly how good it is at portraying a toxic female friendship, the competition, the need, the love it's all there. I've been there, I've been both sides. You fall apart and then you both found yourselves again and sometimes it works, sometimes you remember why you fell apart. This book portrays it so well.
