I don’t do this often, but I HATED this book. I know it’s meant to be a satire about privileged beautiful boarding school types, but it was so not funny. It’s message was awful (especially around body image) and I would keep it as far away from any teenage girl as possible. Detestable characters, boring plot .... just .... no.
