Reading this book had me making Zendaya’s disgusted/disappointed face every sentence and a half and that’s a testament to Jennette McCurdy’s writing, because I swear I could hear this pathetic man’s voice in my head and I ugh.

I think Waldo’s essay is still the highlight of the book for me. She and her mom broke my heart into a million little pieces, their relationship and how they’re two sides of the same coin really broke my heart.

Anyways, there are so many reviews here that explain so well why this book works, all I have to add really is that it’s been a while since I felt SO angry at words on a page and that’s totally a compliment lol.
