initially I thought I didn’t quits like it. like 3/5 stars but very well written. It was not because of the prose because it’s scrumptious. All the characters feel like real girls I know and would hang out with and be infuriated by their choices. And I was infuriated by their choices. But even thinking that makes me realize how real and lived in their writing felt to me. I was lecturing them like they were my besties but that says more about me than the book 😭
Graphic: Death, Toxic relationship, and Car accident
