It had such an amazing start and could have been one of those books I kept coming back to as a reread. The characters and all the plot points are set up so well to start off with but it’s like time run out and every thread was dropped, unexplored or brought to a tasteless conclusion and well

thé attempt to get the to sympathise and empathise with rapists can really f*ck right off and honestly ruined the book for me, it was so well setup only to fall so hard

 I received this book from the publisher through Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The narrator was great. But the story was lacking. I didn't care for the ending. It was a bit gross. Also, it got overly descriptive of the clothing. As well as just falling flat. I mean it was okay and I liked some of the characters, but it was a bit predictable. I saw most of the twists coming. But I liked that it was diverse and most of the characters were lovable, but not the main mc.
