I had a lot of fun with this book despite some small pet peeves of mine (how does she not know a single social media thing ??). I did feel like the end was a bit flat and I wish the author had taken the time to dive more into some of the issues that Margo was facing. This really did make me pause and consider how people actually act in situations that, to the rest of the world, seem to have a very clear answer. It's very easy to say "well I wouldn't do that" and it's like ... well it's not you in that situation so ... you know?
As a fun story to sit with and just enjoy your time I think this was great. But as a story that dives deeper into societal topics including unplanned pregnancies and sex work it's lacking.
