I’m glad I saw someone say that this is not a romance so don’t get your hopes up, bc if I had thought this was a romance (as the cover & description make it sound), I would’ve been extremely upset. Instead, I knew it was more about following Nora’s life in a “coming of age” style situation, which is what it actually is, so my expectations weren’t misaligned. 

The beginning was EXTREMELY slow. I would’ve DNFed it but it’s for my book club, so I persevered. I guess I’m glad I kept going, it did pick up about 35% in. It was difficult watching Nora continue making poor choices & lying throughout bc I knew it had to blow up in her face. Based on the cute cover & title, I was surprised by the dark turns, and how frequently Nora contemplated suicide. 

Overall, this was fine.
