Be aware of:

- *trigger warning* eating disorders
- Unlikeable characters
- Many terms and references you’re not going to get if you’re not an American
- And Gilmore girl spoilers
- Also June > Jayne

This isn’t a bad book, it just wasn’t a book for me, I feel like the description was misleading. It was so heavily focused on Jayne, whilst the description left me thinking it was going to focus on the insurance fraud and June.

It didn’t feel right however to rate this book

It felt mean to give this book one star, because the writing was still good and the topics were very real. But I really didn’t enjoy, it wasn’t anything that I expected and it was really hard for me to read. Mainly because I didn’t like the main character, hated her views, opinions and negativity.
