The Things We Do To Our Friends by Heather Darwent

Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
so the main character did something stupid when she was a kid but she goes and does it again as a young adult because apparently being an idiot is part of the human experience?? this feels like two separate stories being made into one for no good reason it keeps dragging on and on and tbh it doesn’t have the depth required to keep doing it and still be entertaining
