A great book about grief and needing to just temporarily pause your life. I wish I could do the same. A slow paced read and the character is just privileged and she’s written so you hate her but loved the book regardless.

this was low-key terrible. I thought the writing itself was really good but the main character... she just pissed me off. to a degree i didn't think possible. I have NEVER read a character so pick me like in my life. every chapter it was her talking about how pretty and skinny and white and blonde she was and how reva just wants to be like her but she never will because she's poor and ugly. and her "development" at the end was barely even there I mean come on you go on a walk and feed frosted flakes to squirrels get a hold of yourself.

I didn’t feel that much happened in this book. Felt very repetitive, and the ending seemed rushed.

In reading this book, I got all the emotions. Some laughter, some confusion, and definitely sadness. I heavily related to the protagonist from her way of coping with life, to her lack of emotions and care throughout most of the book. It hit me hard at times. In spite of the emotional roller coaster, I really enjoyed it. Definitely going to re-read and annotate the heck out of it!
