- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
What the heck was that?? I’m left with open ended disappointment. There was an arc that just turned into a circle.
It was quite literally:
- conversations with friends
- petulant, privileged people
- no growth
- unlikable characters (I marginally liked Bobbi & that’s it)
- each character was self-centered & looking inward toward themselves then reflecting on their past. This should lead to them making different decisions but really they just went back to old patterns.
I purposefully did the audiobook because I didn’t want to deal with the lack of quotations.
I have not decided if I liked this book. I’ll give it a three for now & reflect later. (10/28)

hjhannah_4's review against another edition
DBF at 230 pages. I really tried you guys. Not even Taylor Swift could help get me through this book. Unfortunately it is not possible to give a zero star rating. Seriously, save yourself the headache, the time, and the braincells.
