I picked this book because the premise was interesting. To be honest, this plot does not new to me. I read and watched a lot of similar theme to this one. So, I'm just picking with the two: if Ben was really dead or just in coma.
I though this book is funny but I didn't even laugh? The characters are so bland. There are a lot of scenes that's so boring. I already half way and there was no much exiting scene. Her father died but I think that was not sinking to her first because I didn't feel sad or what. I just felt sad when it revealed that her father knew she's a ghostwriter all along. And he actually knew her books.
Florence ex is a plagiarist, liar, fucking asshole. I really hate Alice at the beginning. Because Florence leaving their hometown was valid. Imagine you were a kid and you were bullied? I want to fucking leave ASAP. But then again Alice's feelings are also valid. They were close.
Lastly, when they are already aware that Ben is just on coma, Rose denied that she initiated that Ben was already dead? Then why did she said "The world lost another fine ass.” What did she mean by that?
Anyway, I just the last last scene. And also I love Carver and Nicki and their parents relationship❤
