хотіла поставити 3 за шаблонний нарцистичний сюжет, але кінцівка дала мені ляпаса.

в книзі дуже цікаво переживається час, відчуття наче пройшов як мінімум рік, чи багато, а там лише три тижні. але віриться, бо краш темпорально відчувається саме так

I read most of this book but I just couldn't finish it. I was trying to stick with it as much as I could.

Incredibly well written, the characters feel so real that it was hard for me not to hate Carol (Therese also has her flaws but she’s so young that I could mostly look past them)
