I am genuinely not really sure where to start with this one. It is, I believe about two girls Bibi and Amy (I will explain why I said I believe soon). Bibi is the daughter of a rich family who has left her alone for as far as I can tell most of her life. This has resulted in her having serious socialization issues, anger management issues, and some very weird hobbies. Amy went through an extremely traumatic event at a young age, is from a very broken home, and now lives with her Aunt. She also used to be besties with the most popular girl at school, who also happens to be friends with Peter the most popular boy at school, and the kid that Bibi has fixated on. This is not under any circumstances healthy. Hell, it is full on stalker level creepy. And guess what Amy's ex-best friend is pretty much Bibi with Amy. Bibi recruits Amy to help her get a date with Peter and Camilla the ex bestie spends most of the book trying to break Bibi and Amy up.
That's it that's the story. A whole host of emotionally and mentally unstable teenagers spend the book doing things to each other that are at the very least mean and at the worst just straight up illegal (at one Bibi invites Amy over for a snack, somehow knocks her out, and ties her to a chair in the basement). I feel like what the author is trying to portray is living with mental illness, trauma, and neglect as a teenager but it's just not translating well.
I probably won't be continuing this one, I just have no emotional investment in the characters or the story to see what happens next.
As always thanks to NetGalley and Yen Press for the eArc!
