Jessa is so annoying. I’m starting to have a realization that Arnett just writes annoying lesbian leads that don’t do anything to fix their life. Instead they’d rather just complain about it while constantly going through with it.

After re-reading it, I’ve started to dislike the book more and more as the pages turn. I liked this initially when I read it but maybe I’ve matured, grown or whatever and don’t have the same nostalgia as I did before. Currently, Jessa is similar to Arnett’s other main character from With Teeth where they’re basically doing nothing to improve their livelihoods. That is a letdown.
