Pretentious, boring, slow.
No story to speak of. Just endless rambling.

I would not have expected this book to include Eminem quotes but it did and that might have been my favorite part. 

Cute story and wholesome friendship. I saw some reviews saying Paloma is too pretentious (she is) but I found her incredibly relatable.

Elegant als een egel, een boek dat ik al tijden wil lezen maar ik kom er niet doorheen. Misschien heeft het te maken met het feit dat de hoofdrolspeler hoogbegaafd is en ik haar manier van denken niet bijhouden. Heb meerdere keren geprobeerd door het boek heen te komen maar helaas is het met nog niet gelukt.

Did it in audio format but would like to reread in a year or two with a physical copy
