dark emotional funny sad tense medium-paced

3.75

Parts of this book felt like you were navigating a foggy dream.  It would skip over certain events and it would jump time. I think this book did a really great job of encapsulating the intensity of teenage emotion. Of first live. I really enjoyed the female friendships in here. I will say there is a bit of ‘not like other girls’ trope on here. There is heavy commentary on sexual assault.
