What She Left
by T.R. Richmond
I'm giving it one star. Maybe if I was feeling more generous it would warrant two, but I couldn't stand it. It was told out of order which is a personal pet peeve of mine (my brain doesn't work that way, I struggle with nonlinear stories) and it felt incredibly disjointed, as though it was written as the author thought up things instead of in a purposeful order. The characters were mostly awful people. The narrator was especially awful and disgusting, even though I think we were supposed to sympathize with him. Most of the men in this story were abusive and terrible people. It seemed like it was trying to make a statement of "these men are terrible, but look plot twist, not that terrible!" Just because someone else does something worse, doesn't make what they did any less bad. I hated it, couldn't get it into, regret reading it. If there's ever been a book that was an utter waste of time, it was this.
