 The more I think about this book the more I viscerally dislike it. It was intellectually vacant. It was basic and prefunctory. There was a totally unnecessary plot point with SA of an under 18 year old. The POV was so so white woman it was hard to engage with. The MC was an awful person who did bad stuff and made bad choices; which sometimes I’m on board with but give me a reason. I wish I’d never picked it up.
