 This book. This frickin book with all its horrible characters and I loved it.

It made me angry, I yelled in my head at the main character when I wasn’t reading it, this book wouldn’t leave me alone.

The main character is super selfish and this comes across in all her interactions.  Who is Kristen's partner,  why is Kyle living at his mom's house and why did he drop out of college, etc. We learn nothing about other characters because the main character is so wholly focused on herself.
 

I guess I don’t always need to have lovable characters to enjoy a novel when it’s really well written.
