Loved this book so much. I found myself relating to some of the concepts that were mentioned when it comes to being a woman and it made me so emotional lol. This author writes very very well, and this is her first book? I'm amazed and so impressed. Would 100% read more books by this author. This was such a good book, definitely recommend anyone to read it. (If you're into this genre)

Very dark but not good. It feels like it was just written to be a violent book but not interesting.

A deeply cynical book about how the world breaks and remakes us, and what we think we deserve as a result. A fun read but one that left me wanting something more. Definitely recommend checking trigger warnings if that's something you do.
