Whoever says that this book is girl boss is a big fat liar!!
It talks about very surface-level things but adorned with pretty words. I do appreciate the new words I've learned, but it is so try-hard. I found it to be very hollow and hard to believe, and I love me some ridiculous things, but this was not it (for me). Every line I read, instead of seeing the character, I saw the author and how hard she was trying to make one-liners. Now I don't mind the topics that the mc talks about, but it writes in such a way to make it seem grand when it really isn't. It felt like reading a wattpad fantasy. I had to listen to this book in text to speech while doing laundry...
