I liked this book in the beginning but then grew incredibly tired of what a hater Nina was. But THEN, a few things happened and I found the negativity relatable and also sooo valid. Go off Nina. I will say that analyzing all of your interpersonal relationships through the same light as Ghosts does is probably not good for you! Once the last third of the book rolled around I was drawn in again. I know some people really hate the ending but I cannot really imagine any other ending fitting well here. This was a great coming-of-age for everyone past the age of 18 who is still coming of age. Also fuck
