Work, friendship and lots of drama
There's was something so relatable about Bree and her experiences, both as a new employee, and a teen making unwise choices for the sake of a friend.
*some potential mild spoilers ahead*
The friendship between Bree and Mallory develops in this very relatable way, so it's easy to see why the two of them become friends to begin with. But Mallory's 'bad girl' tendencies ultimately determine the fate of the two girls association with each other.
Their interactions help form a strong central plot for the story, but the story itself is set to a back drop of family drama, and 'boy trouble' which helps flesh out Bree's world and characterisation.
The early 2000s feel was also extremely nostalgic for someone who was in their mid to late teens around that same era, and as some one who works in customer service, I could relate to certain aspects of the work life depicted and the feel of that kind of job.
All in all this is both a gripping read, and a very relatable reading experience.
