This book just was not for me.
And I regret to say that who it may be for is people who want to read 300 pages about the most annoying person they went to high school with.
You know. That kind of artsy/creative kid who thinks they're automatically entitled to fame/success/money. The only type of person who thinks MOVING TO LONDON even though they DID NOT GET INTO MUSIC SCHOOL and just HOPING THEY'LL FIND SUCCESS THERE while they LIVE ON THEIR COUSIN'S COUCH is in any way a reasonable idea.
Add in that person throwing themselves wholeheartedly into an obviously toxic relationship and an eating disorder subplot and baby, it's a whole mess!
And I'm allowed to say that because I'm an annoying person with an eating disorder and a history of throwing myself into toxic relationships. This is my culture.
Bottom line: This is so b*tchy! Add it to my list of faults.

Emma, when are you going to start writing your book/novella/days/screenplay etc???
Because you write these sentences that SLAY! Consistently! It's your superpower, girlfriend 🌹🥰🍪

i kinda liked it and honestly can rather relate to it actually. but i’m a music gay male from a religious background.
I agree with these commenters. Please write a book
I always love reading your reviews and how open and spot on they are. I know I can always count on them 😊
