I had a hard time getting into this book until about half way through, and then I sped through it. A lot of the story is told through flashbacks, but it’s not super obvious visually then they start and end (though that may have been bc I was reading largely on mobile) which made parts a bit confusing. I loved the dystopian/sci fi-ish aspects of the story and wish those had been explored a bit more, but overall I really enjoyed this.
Graphic: Misogyny, Stalking, and Gaslighting
