I haven’t been left speechless from a book in a long time. This one is peer pressure and wanting to belong at its finest. It’s so raw and to be in the head of the protagonist while she’s hitting rock bottom made me feel so sad/worried. As someone that in college did her fair share of the wanting to belong and drinking to fit in, I really really felt this one hard. It was beautiful and devastating and I’m glad a book like this exists!
