Eh. As an essay I think some of the interludes were making a point, but the rest of the fiction does 't support it at all so it ends up kinda mid to be honest.
I'm ok with the Helen-bashing because Penelope is very young at first so this feels like a fitting attitude for a teen, but this girl just does 't get along with a single person here! Like girl at some point you have to see that YOU are the problem...
