Vladimir was one of my most anticipated releases of the year and I was super disappointed after finishing this title. I was ready for the bold, edgy story that the blurb promised me, but what I actually got was a novel with the most unlikable protagonist and one the worst endings to a book that I have ever read. Some astute commentary that the author tried to include, like challenging society's expectation of monogamy, was ultimately overshadowed by the poor writing choices she made.
