It was one of the first books I read after taking a LONG break from reading. I wanted to see what’s happening in modern adult fiction and this book was hyped on instagram and multiple creators on YT also recommended it.
Well lets just say this book taught me not to trust lifestyle youtubers and instagram. Because i was already disapointed in this book couple pages in. It did get bit better and overall it was a fine read, but definitely not a 5 stars, 3 max.
Other hyped book I read was “My year of rest and relaxation” which I actually enjoyed much more. Next hyped author Im planning to check out is Sally Rooney so lets see how that goes.

One reason more not to trust them! I agree.
I didn’t like my year of rest and relaxation, I found the unlikeable character to be gratuitous, but it was beautiful on sentence by sentence level. But agree with you that it was better than this one

Reading Evelyn Hugo I understood exactly what they mean by “show, don’t tell” - there was so much telling with Monique that seem to go nowhere and could have been done better.

Ahahah right! It was also a bit condescending at times
