I was liking this book until the ending, which I found to be very unsatisfying.

Jules is a deeply infuriating character. Her consistent self victimization and self putting would be more grating from a less talented writer. Tanner is able to show rather than tell the complex relationship between an older and younger sister. She especially captures the undercurrent of jealousy that tinges the cruelty that Jules treats Poppy with. 

I can't help but hope for the best for these two characters. They're trying to break the cycles they been stuck in and there is some hope by the end that they just might.

I hope the 8 people waiting on Libby love character books, because this has zero plot. That’s not my preference and I was irritated so many times reading this. It feels like it’s supposed to be coming of age but is just a lot of complaining. I did laugh aloud a few times, so there’s that.

I kept waiting for this book to have a point and it never did. I had hoped that the ending would wrap things up, but it didn’t. I didn’t like any of the characters and they all just got to be more annoying over time. I generally don’t like not finishing books, so I got through this one because it was relatively short and at least moved quickly.

Fucking terrible ending but overall very very good. Also the undiagnosed narcissistic mother was one of the most infuriating characters I’ve ever encountered.
