i enjoyed this! jennette mccurdy's writing style is simple and i like her sense of humor which makes reading a story that's so harrowing also feel light? but also not in a way that ignores what's going on. very similar to <i>i'm glad my mom died</i> in that regard. i listened to the audiobook in a day. waldo is so relatable to 17-year-old me, unfortunately. in her horrific thought patterns, her compulsive behaviors, and the way the shadow of her mother looms over her every thought related to men. i can see how she might be unlikable to others but i love her dearly. and her high school best friend who pronounces every -ing as -een, which waldo finds irritating and i find so charming. too bad she's marrying a mormon, or whatever. i already forget. reading the end had me feeling pretty meh, but i ultimately enjoyed the ride.
