This book was a mess but….a very compulsively readable and entertaining mess lol.
The premise is sooooo intriguing and the first half is pretty interesting. There is a big plot twist midway through the book, and it felt like the author lost control of where she wanted it to go. The writing isn’t great but nothing stands out as bad either (except maybe the 20 references to Taylor Swift.) The main character makes a lot of dumb decisions, and every single female character in this book is unhinged in some way. The author is obviously trying to make a statement on men treating women poorly and then blaming them for their reactions and being “crazy” which I understand, but I don’t think it’s done well. Like no actually some things can’t be excused lol. Ashley’s little library said that the ending was very “scooby doo-esque ” and I must agree lol. In the end the whole thing was a mess but like a really fun one lol.
