I instantly fell in love with the friend group and the vibes (love the found family trope), very gossip girl vibes as everyone says. But was not a big fan at all of the writing style - 1-3 similies and metaphors per page is a bit overkill (read page 306 if you want a prime example). The characters and relationships are SO toxic it's ridiculous.
HOWEVER, I couldn't put it down, I kept thinking about it when I wasn't reading, I was obsessed. I have not read a book this long in such a short amount of time. I devoured it.
