5.0
such a good book about female friendship and girlhood (and how confusing it is), growing up, with some commentaries as well on social class etc.
i couldnt put the book down once i started reading it. i felt for the characters but i wouldnt say i loved or liked them, but despite that it was a book that was hard to put down. i wanted to read it every chance i got.
i, unfortunately, could relate to a lot of things in the book, and the parts tinged with jealousy or envy hit a little too close to home haha.
this was so good and heartbreaking at the same time huhu
