I legit hated this. None of the worldbuilding made any sense to me. All the characters were so much the same that I could not remember their names or who was who. The main character is a horrible person with no empathy. But we are supposed to rote for her. Everything in this novel happened because people did stupid shit but it's not framed as a lesson either. 

Then out of nowhere it suddenly switched perspectives, with some horrible grammar so I guess signify a slower thought process because she is sick? But it was not done very well and getting through it took so much effort. Then she is also totally incompetent and basically kills a guy because she wanted a kiss. None of the characters are likeable. 

The ending was immensely anticlimactic and basically meaningless. 

I kinda wanna give it 1 star but I only do that if the book included unnecessary racism, homophobia, transphobia or sexism. Tho I would also like to mention fucking everyone in this book is white. Anyway fuck this, 2 stars
