I hated this book the first time I read it and I hated it the second time I read it too. Why did I read it again? Because I read a different book from the series, hated it too and decided to read the entire series. What can I say, I am dumb as rocks. The only reason why it gets 0.5 is because 0.25 is “I wasted my time on this”.

Book notes:
P. 13 "(...) solen hang stor og orange over husene mod øst" *deep inhale* I ØSTEN STIGER SOLEN OP
P. 14 "En høj mørkhåret fyr der gik i 10. klasse på samme skole som mig." THAT'S MIKKEL
P. 15 I love how girly is having a panic attack, but doesn't forget to mention her jean jacket.
A note on the intro: The intro is so strongly against self diagnosis, it is a big funny. I think that being against self diagnosis is lowkey elitist, so :/
P. 17 She learned on the first day of school that it's hard to hold balance when the bus is driving? She never took a bus before? She's in 9th grade for god's sake.
P. 19 The girl is prepared enough to have a baggie, but not to have music on the second she leaves house? Weird.
P. 23 Stop slutshaming the older sister?
P. 35 Thought this was about social anxiety and not that much about body image issues, which is a very separate issue.
P. 63 That is a description of eating disorder behaviour.
P. 102 Don't think like that amour your sister's boyfriend? Also, your picture is her is a couple hours old, while others are a couple days old.
P. 105 You should really communicate with your family, hence when you have anxieties like this.
P. 113 I don't trust Nicklas.
P. 136 This still feels incredibly terrible.
P. 158 Sometimes I think that Ida doesn't understand how people work.
P. 168 There is nothing bad about people being kinda forced to talk to you, when their dog just stops near you, it is not that big of a deal. I now understand that I sound a lot like a hater, but like, author present social anxiety in a very self centered and “voice that explains everything”.
P. 169 How long was she walking and talking for that her sister got ready, has already been at the party and skiddadled? Nicklas is still very creepy. Like extremely.
P. 173 I get being jealous of your siblings because they are older and more sociable, but like, how did it jump from that to her getting with her sister’s ex?
P. 186 Nicklas is straight up grooming her, I am so tired and this is so uncomfortable.
P. 194 “The beach is prettier further”? RED FLAGS
P. 196 She did not agree to it, she is uncomfortable. He is so creepy. AAAAAAAAAAAAA
P. 198 He is older, he has responsibility and he pushes it on her, even tho he is the one hurting Lærke
P. 205 He is her dad, could she not just tell that she does not want to take the train?
P. 211 Okay, you know what? I just hate the main character. She is irresponsible and never even tries to make it easier or better for herself. She is actively making it worse for herself and it is extremely annoying.
P. 239 The mother also sucks, I bet you are astonished. You have divorced the man like 3 years ago and he has moved on, it is selfish and hurting your children to keep treating him, like you are still in relationship with him, while he clearly wants none of it.
P. 262 Mikkel is the dream boyfriend, bro is slightly older, emotionally vulnerable, went to psychologist, has a dog, is mysterious. The whole thing.
P. 264 She showed interest in you, because you actually spoke instead of just sitting there, aaaa.
P. 267 Nicklas is not “fjols”, he is a predator.
P. 269 The eyeroll that I did at “Ikke Mikkel.” Gurl, shut up.
P. 273 It is her fault that she is doing that bad, this is the first time she did anything about it and it is her responsibility to take care of herself.
P. 276 Why is the mother doing her antagonist speech? She just straight up went to the window to go stare at it, that’s how you find out that she injected cancer cells into both of them for fun.
P. 286 And the whole bus clapped.
P. 292 This is the second time, that he took her hand without asking her. Stop.
P. 293 “I have anxiety” “Me too” *makeout noises, that were not asked about beforehand*
