A good book overall.
However this book needs a massive TW somewhere that the whole story will be about rape and the trama that comes with that. The cover and description led me to believe that it was something very different and I was surprised when around page 30 I realized what this book would actually be about.
But for what the book actually is I think it was well done. Serious and real but still had moments of levity.

I‘m so ambivalent about this book. I really hated the FMC in like the first half of the book, but she got better and recognised her mistakes and everything. But… idk… her constant hate on other women made it kinda unpleasant nonetheless. I mean, why do we have the constant need to put other women down? Isn‘t it enough that men do that (which was basically the whole point of the book). Idk… the ending was OK. Yeah… definitely check trigger warnings for this one!

I didn't particularly like this book. I like what Holly Bourne was trying to do, I think, but I think this story got lost along the way. I also find myself skimming her writing but somehow it keeps me reading, so she gets 2.5 for that.
