for some reason this made me sad - i just kept asking “is this really what im like?”
i am always wary of books about teenage girls written by adult men

i read a bunch of reviews taking about how pessimistic and annoying and unlikeable the main girls are, but like
oh well ? maybe it’s so nihilist on purpose and i don’t think every female character has to be likable and happy
maybe this is just “the stranger” but teenage girls <3
