there’s a little weakness in the backstory of some characters — especially ryia — but i suppose it’s expanded upon in the following entry (out july 2023) rather than vague flashbacks for her i would have preferred to live in ambiguity (or if mj kuhn had gone full throttle in favour of a backstory also) for the entirety of the book and been happy, but that’s a personal preference more than anything. i am a go big or go home kind of person.
as for the fact this is labelled as lgbtq+ i would not completely disagree with that idea but i would protest to it being a driving force for why you should read this novel. it’s very vague, but once again i suppose it’s expanded upon in the following entry, which i’m sorely wishing is releasing on schedule.
i liked it! give it a shot if you like evil women
