• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

I like this book enough to give it 3.5 stars and recommend it to others.

The end was shocking to me, but honestly I was a little dissapointed at the direction the book took, I was expecting something else.

1.0

Can we stop perpetuating the "Women are ~~~CRAZY~~~" stereotype? Not funny, not thrilling, not exciting. This book had me hooked until about halfway through, when I had to question what the main character was going through.

The whole plot makes you feel like you're crazy.
