bought a book because it was cheap and pretty again...
and this time, the expression "don't judge a book by its cover" won.
i've read a lot of books exploring the relationship between mother and daughter recently, and i've read a lot of literary fiction that dares to be difficult lately, and the setup of both of those comparisons was to this book's detriment.
it wasn't necessarily terrible, in and of itself, but it wasn't memorable, and it didn't hold up in the lineup.
bottom line: meh.

Besides being pretty and cheap it's well written and heartfelt. Hope you enjoy it!
Is it as disgusting as people say it is? I've seen a few reviews talking about how repulsive some of the stuff in it is.
Don't regret reading it but a really unpleasant character to hang out with for sure
