I really wanted to like this book but unfortunately I just didn’t care for it. I found the characters kinda unlikable. The best way to describe it was that it was messy. You really have to be in the right mindset to read it.
The writing was nice but there was just too much mysoginistic nonsense and it often came off as overly sexualize in a toxic/violent way. I just didn’t really care for it. The mindset of being violated being a right of passage for woman just gave me the ick.
