TWs: Sex with a minor, drug use

4.5 rounded up; It's amazing how much attention a reader can pour into an unlikeable character's story. Alex is a 22 year-old woman who hops places after a misstep with her ‘lover' Simon. She eventually finds a way into multiple people's lives, figuring out how she can use people and manipulate them so that she can shelter with them until Simon's party on Labor Day weekend.

It was a truly gripping read, unsure how Alex was going to act and figure out things as we went along with her story. Her personality was truly manipulative, only caring about her current situation and destination. The most frustrating part for me was Jack, who's a minor ;-; all of her 'errors', only causing Jack trauma and who knows what happened after the ending. It was terribly sad. The ending..!!

The narrator did such a great job, it wrecked me ;-;
