This book was fantastic but people weren't lying when they said these characters were toxic. I couldn't stand any of these people. They all had sad, miserable complaints and really spent their lives in such a way, is wild to me. I know Nelly certainly has a bias against some of these people, but literally none (except maybe younger Cathy) had any positivity going on for them. Crusty. I would describe these people as crusty. But I was obsessed with their drama.
