A good trick I’ve learned when reading about insufferable characters, is to take a one or two day break from the book so the annoyingness hits fresh as supposed to compounding. Also, Astrid grow the fuck up. From one limerent relationship to the next. The level of codependency is EPIC. Girl, STAND UP!!

Oh fuck. Penelope has been playing the long game to reel in this idiot. Lolol. An avid and experienced fuckboy. I rate that shit.

Ivy is indeed a fuckboy. Lol.

I really do dislike character studies because they don’t go anywhere. It’s a circular jerk of a story. We end up in the same place we started having undergone a feverish foolish set of experiences. Okay. Back to book.

We’re entering the annoying portion of Astrid insufferability land. Sigh. I can’t DNF. I need to finish this and Dykette 😭

Wait. Is Penelope supposed to be duck boy I think Astrid and Ivy are? Am I stuck in California lesbian fuckboy fever dream?! HALP!!

Feels like Ivy is the fuckboy we're led to believe Astrid is. I love this prospective twist!

Lololol. This relationship is not a romance!

I know I’m critically reading this book but it is positively a HOOT! Funny af. Dykette could never. Lolol.
