Right! I don’t understand why this book was so hyped up? Sure, it was a quick read but mainly because it was so bizarre that the main character was such a wreck.

Logically, the book doesn’t even make sense. How can someone go 6 months only drinking water every 3 days? Wouldn’t you, idk, die? Lol

Also her drug use is wild. I’m really surprised she didn’t overdose.

The only thing I can get from this book is, don’t take your loved ones for granted. She obviously took Reva for granted, then she dies.

I kept waiting her to die too… I’m not sure why.

I am all for unliked characters (I loved Gone Girl for example) but this book just… didn’t click?
