EDIT jan 2023 - i'm going through and reclassifying some reviews now that i've read more and sat on the books for a while.

how did I say that I'd lowered the review bc the ending was rubbish and yet still give it a 3.5? i need to sort myself out omg

originally 3.5 stars

Tense and anger-inducing! The 2 main males in the story are utter creeps! Constance, the main character, has major issues and honestly acts like a crazy person, but is at least interesting. She has trauma from her parents, even if the
suicidal mum thing is a bit tropey at this point, and was so obviously not her fault??
I rated this down a bit because I was expected a big twist or a shocking finale, whereas it was kinda of a bit... Meh.
