I love an unreliable narrator & that definitely applies to June. She's a deeply unlikable character for the entire book, it felt like I was hate reading from chapter 2 onwards, which is when it really reeled me in. I loved how dark it was & the were some laugh out loud moments at June's sheer ridiculousness.
