This had a lot of potential, but I found the main character to be incredibly dull and awful despite being in a strange and exciting plot. I also hated the idea that she glazed over her family's toxicity to somehow just "get over it" without doing any emotional work. And she was really mean to her boyfriend for no reason I could discern. Like, you can be bisexual and not hate men. I thought maybe there'd be a masterful turn to fix all of that with her personality, but nope. At the 80% mark I skimmed to the end and found myself disappointed that I'd waited until 80% to do that.
