Wasn’t a huge fan of the book. I like the first 45% but after that I found it honestly kind of annoying.
The way that all is covered is her periods. And she is a bad friend. She barely ever talks to her best friend from Romina anymore which isn’t covered. And she breaks off contact with wan yin for talking to her crush.
Overall, the way Lia treats pretty much all the other characters frustrates me, because why do you have to be so mean to people for no reason.

Okay, so I thought Chase’s wife killed him. But the ending. It had me.
