What did I even read?? 😟 Plot is pretty much non-existent and doesn’t even pick up until around page 90-100. Every single time something even remotely interesting happens, the MC almost makes it his personal mission to just never be part of anything whatsoever. Dude is literally just a side character in disguise.

Not to mention the amount of misogyny and fucked up things this man does to some of the women in this book is so??? What??? I’m just so disappointed in this book, it could have been so much more and it just completely failed in so many ways.
