Wild and silly. Felt a bit fast and loose in the second half. I had a good time though.

There were lots of twists and turns, but the plot got a little bit lost sometimes. The ending wasn't particularly satisfying. Personally I don't like that the author went for the "insane woman" plot line. I love a flawed and unlikeable main character, but when the plot went from "taking revenge against an abusive partner" to "actually she's just insane and making things up" I got a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

I can never get behind a book that utilizes someone’s mental health disorder as the main driver of the plot. Pacing was good but the ending was not.
