I like an unlikable narrator. Especialy if I can understand how they got like that. Taking back control narrative is my niche thrope.

I found it hard to finish. Aaneee is so hard to love as a person, because she treats everyone like sh*t, mostly women. Because of what happened to her it’s not really understandable, but everyone reacts differently to trauma - and she clearly didn’t work on it with therapy. Also, there should be a few trigger warnings at the beginning of the book for eating disorders, SA and  gun violence. I found this really hard to read the ed parts
