i finished this book almost a week ago and i still can't find the energy to write my review.
i swear, i loved it! it was so freakishly well written and the story was very intriguing. there wasn't a single dull moment in the book, I loved that. i loved the back story of each of the girls, that was very needed. their pasts honestly were extremely traumatic which makes a lot of sense meaning that it explains why they did that (weak/fucked up mentality and all). i do not mean to be cruel, but it felt that way. Among all of the stories about the girls and their relatives/friends, i found Dolly's one the most boring if that makes sense? i mean after reading about Violet'sbasement in the sims(which btw was so fucked up) and her water slide incident , i think that was the most "what the fuck" part in their pasts, or at least to me.
the book was hella good. i don't know why i would not give it 5*, i really liked it. but that's my current opinion. i think i'll spend a lot of time thinking about it and eventually i'll re-read it. <3 so good. <3
