I loved this book! I couldn’t put it down and I really liked the characters. Their stories were unique and I audibly gasped at a twist at the end. Would definitely recommend!

This was an amazing book! I kinda want to give it 5 stars but something is holding me back. Very well written, I sorta liked the flashback-like things, sorta didn’t, they really didn’t seem necessary in the end but they definitely kept the flow of the book going. Author did a great job of including humor im a sad story that tackles many issues. Great “twist” at the end. One thing that really bothered me was acc very insignificant, but the author used a bunch of the same names for characters as in What Alice Forgot (one of her other books). It was so confusing, because I originally thought that maybe the books were connected, but no, the author just was using the same names for completely different characters. lol

Everyone was right about this book - I totally devoured it. I wish I hadn't accidentally spoiled a plot point for myself, but it was still such an enjoyable read. What an interesting study of the many ways misogyny presents in everyday life from both men and women.
