Look, there’s a lot that I shouldn’t have liked about this book. And some of it I truly didn’t (really, you’re going to forgive all that at the drop of a hat?!). But I still had a hell of a time reading it and will definitely be continuing on with the series

I’m conflicted. Screw men, but can I have some more of them? So many emotions, so much anger at ignorant entitled men but I couldn’t put the book down. Would I recommend this to everyone? No, but the people I would recommend it to already know who they are. To them I say, stay toxic and enjoy the shit show, I sure did.

bail3ybee's review against another edition

I don’t get triggered very easily but the constant SA or threats of SA and just that vibe in general made me extremely uncomfortable. I didn’t find any of the characters redeemable or lovable. Every time any of the male characters spoke I was praying for the female main character to kill them off. Don’t think I’ll ever pick this up again
