2.5

Interesting premise but ended up falling flat after the first 50 pages. It felt pretty messy, way too long, I didn’t care about a single character (they all felt pretty one-dimensional and underdeveloped), and the ending came out of nowhere with no time to process it and it cheapened the whole book. Also, writing stories about false SA allegations can be pretty harmful and disrespectful unless they’re handled in a nuanced, understanding way - which isn’t the case here as some of the conversations surrounding SA victims made me very uncomfortable. Overall, not a great experience. I should’ve listened when people said not to read this book.

This book had SO much potential. 


*** spoilers below ***

I was looking forward to see how they’d navigate the accusation but as soon as it was revealed that the accusation was false but he cheated on her anyway for a SECOND time, I knew that the relationship wasn’t going to last and there wasn’t any point in carrying on really.
