This book stressed the literal hell out of me❤️ although my own mom and aunt differ wildly from Poppy and Jules, I could see a lot of similarities to their relationship and I dont know if that contributed to the stress, or the fact that these characters are all pretty freaking insufferable and learn nothing, or the near constant berating and anxiety throughout. I know that’s what the name implies! But for some stupid reason I didnt think it was going to worry me this much fron start to finish. There isnt really a point of resolve or relaxing and the ending honestly was kind of underwhelming. I do think the author did a wonderful job capturing a lot of specific moments in time and ideologies and it felt incredibly realistic, at the cost of it being so stressful. I give her my props but I don’t think id reccommend this one.
