After a month of struggling and forcing myself to read this book I have given up. I'm 180 pages in and have hated every minute of it. the characters are awful: mean, hateful, manipulative, the kind of people I cut off in my life when I meet them. I don't think it's an engaging story, I feel like the writing is forced, and yes, I know I'll be strung up for saying it, this is not a feminist book.
