Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry by Joya Goffney
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for the audio book ARC! I've never had an audio ARC before!
1. a robot read this to me and it was a weird experience!
2. 100% would die for Olivia. Give me your misunderstood side characters, I have so much room in my heart for all of them.
3. I have been generally over the "whoops I'm being blackmailed" genre for a bit now but this one didn't bother me. I don't know what it had that other books with this story line was missing, but I think it was that the blackmailers actually had to face consequences instead of just being like "oh sorry" and getting away with it. I wanted Quinn's mom to drag those girls straight to hell
4. I was really, really surprised to learn that this was a debut? Joya Goffney is going to do great things.
5. I genuinely enjoyed this book. Goffney really captured that "end of senior year who am I what is happening the future is a horrifying black hole" feeling.
