I really didn’t like this book at first. I almost DNF’d in the first 50 pages. The way Marnie was written was borderline insufferable, but I think that’s what the author was going for. 

Her anxiety and literary references eventually won me over. And seeing her jealousy of her sister chip away, and seeing the family come together over a tragedy was very heartwarming. 

I don’t like how she proclaimed her love at the end for a boy she’s only known for a few months and has been on one actual date with very weird at the end to me, but whatever.
