I didn't like this book. Almost DNF'ed it (and I should have) but I was curious of how worse it could get. The characters are despicable. As someone who had to take meds to sleep or against my anxiety (sometimes with really, really bad after-effects), it made me sick to read all these descriptions of the mc eating pills after pills.
