this book is kind of like if the lifetime channel exploded, causing lifetime confetti to go everywhere.
but i don't think that's a bad thing.
a lot of people have had really strong negative reactions to this book, but since this seems to be the year that i like the books everyone hates and hate the books everyone likes, here i am with at least one thumb up.

Ani FaNelli has overcome a lot in her life. All she wants is for people to believe she's effortlessly thin, wealthy, and doesn't come from New Jersey - and once she gets married, she'll have a new last name, and lose the last remnant of who she used to be: TifAni FaNelli, the trashy, chubby girl who was raped and that was before the incident that would mark her and her private school forever. But there's the documentary, bringing all that old stuff up again.

This reads like a combination Lifetime after-school special + a New Adult Mean Girls with a side of suggested (but never shown!) kink + a few mor ...more
Good and sort of intentionally annoying all at the same time.
I'd probably give this 3.5 stars if possible (but it's not a 3, so 4 it is). I enjoyed it, but seeing it compared to Gillian Flynn novels was kind of its downfall for me.

I thought the author's writing style was very odd. It was almost like she had too many jokes or asides but I didn't get them and I kept looking back to see what I missed. I enjoyed the story but mostly because it was hard to put down.
