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 :/

Really did not connect to any of the characters. I found all of them to be quite frustrating. Only finished reading because it’s a quick finish.
