Really wanted to love this book but it just fell flat for me.
While the story is all too real and should be told, all of the characters gave me a headache.. The plot point in the summary that really drew me in (Mickey’s manifesto blowing up on social media) happens 80% in, meaning the majority of the book follows Mickey as she spirals and makes terrible decisions. Don’t get me wrong, it’s relatable, but it’s not super fun to read about, especially when you don’t find any of the characters enjoyable..
