This was one of the two books I've gathered but still haven't read in my home and so i decided to finally power through it. And really the book is about nothing. It's so pointless. A girl struggling to find a job and life's purpose and by the end she i guess sort of realises there's no purpose to be found. And in the meantime she's mean to everyone around her and drinks so much alcohol that i really thought hwr gping to rehqb might become a plotpoint at some point. The blurbs at the beginning compared the book to bridget jones but bridget is at least funny. And does have a point by the end of the book. I was really atruggling to like this main character anf couldn't understand why her boyfriend still stayed with her. This really was a book not worth my time. At least it was kinda short.
