engaging to read - ⭐️

would recommend - 

well… being an adolescent is definitely tough. this was a bit too bleak in my opinion, though. the main character is going through a lot, including general teenage angst, but she just constantly rains anger and hate on the world and people around her and that’s.. pretty much the whole book :/

1.5

I really really did not like this and it just wasn’t for me. As someone else’s review said there’s just a lot of unaddressed things and also a lot of subtle or blatant racism, fat phobia, sexism etc that’s just never addressed and I get that the characters are young and it’s from their perspective but I really just did not enjoy this
Additionally I just have a personal preference where I don’t really tend to like books where the whole vibe is just - sad which this book 100% is 
I figured I’d give this a 2.75 or 3 in the middle but I just disliked it more and more the further I went
