This book is just dripping with early aughts teenage cringe and I loved it for that. It’s a train wreck you can’t look away from and a wholly unique experience. The pain, relationships, and internal reflections were all so vivid and real and fleshed out and agonizing. I think this book will stick with me and I would LOVE to read more from the author after this debut.
