this is a book that is definitely better on a reread because the last few pages really do a lot to completely change how one views this book.

even from the beginning, june is a unreliable and insufferable narrator--- the kind that genuinely makes me want to hit my head against a table, and that's the point, and it works for this. but her unreliability makes me personally question everything, especially when at the end, she admits that she's blurring fact with fiction, and makes her intentions known. it made me rethink a lot of moments and wonder if that's how it actually played out or is june just saving her own skin and making herself look better.

it's the very reason as to why, despite my feelings towards june growing worse, i thoroughly enjoyed rereading this book. and i'll probably be thinking about it for weeks now.
