However, this was uncomfortable in ways I absolutely did not enjoy. I don't know exactly how old Camille is, but I do know she's too old to be partying with a bunch of 13 year olds and doing drugs with them, I know she's too old to be having sex with an 18 year old, and I know she's too old to be so hung up on the bodies of 13 year old girls. I do not like how many times the boobs of teenage girls were described. I don't like how often boobs were described in general, but more specifically the boobs of teenage girls. Terrible. I also don't understand why there was a scene with Camille and her 13 year old sister tonguing in a game that involved orally passing drugs around. I don't like that just a few scenes later they also slept in the same bed and the 13 year old was almost totally naked.
Yes, this

I almost wanted more of the family dynamic to be the focus, even if it definitely is a big part of the story. I would have enjoyed more history of the family members, a deeper look at what made them who they had become. But on the other hand, the feeling of being a bit kept in the dark also helps with the weird and distant family dynamic pictured.

Well written, but descriptive. I would recommend a trigger warning for this read. The main character has cut herself extensively in the past and has urges to do so throughout the book. There is also quite a bit of alcohol, drugs, and sex as Camille navigates her emotions and relationships throughout the book.sweidheart's review against another edition
