I hated this book. The dialogue felt very fake, there were way too many characters, and the book is 200 pages longer than it needed to be. Great premise, terrible execution. Also the Black character felt like a token - the author included her to be "diverse" without actually making her feel like an authentic Black character. The "diversity" in this book felt very performative.

i absolutely LOVED this book. from the empowering messages to the relatable sorrows and the sprinkles of humor. i enjoyed it so much an e-book, but found it to be so layered and littered with important messages that i’m still going to buy a physical copy to reread and annotate.
i’d recommend this book to anyone but especially any women/AFAB people out there who know the daily struggles we face in every facet of life. these were some very inspiring, kick-ass characters and a story i’ll hold dear to my heart

this is an angry novel. I absolutely loved it. women getting revenge on men doing horrible things. in the beginning it seemed like the characters did odd things that wouldn't be done in real life? but men have done much worse, and the rest of the book was amazing
