I'm pretty sure I'm just a sucker for drama because I was OBSESSED with this book. The beginning of it was rough, especially on audio, but I soon found myself unable to put it down and zoomed through most of the book in two sittings. Lucy was a pretty self-absorbed character for a lot of the book, but a part of me also . . . related to her? Especially when it came to figuring out what love is/is not; it's so easy to be blinded by who we think someone is rather than who they actually are. My heart tweaked at the end of the book, and I genuinely think we saw growth in Lucy, and I loved that! This is a super messy, dramatic, and toxic book, but I was addicted and can now watch the show on Hulu!
