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.
