A tale (not even, there was no plot) about two angsty teenage girls that go out of their way to judge anything and everything to compensate for their drastic self loathing. I had watched the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it, then read the book and found that so many changes were made - and for good reason, the book was complete, utter shit.

There was no plot (which is alright if anything else about it was good, but nothing was), the characters had minimal development that had only occurred towards the end. The whole 80 pages were purely two teenage girls fucking with people in the most distasteful way and bitching about them behind their backs whilst also trying to figure out their hopeless futures with their only obstacles being a series of first world problems. I hated every single thing about this book, besides the fact it was so short - I don't think I could've bared anything longer than what it was.
