  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

A slow enough start that I nearly couldn't get past how unlikable the two main characters started as. While I did want them to make it out at the end, the book starts with misandrist energy and finishes strongly misandrist. The ending that way makes sense, but the beginning kind of felt a little hit like men hating feminist viewpoints. At lead Josie has a moment where she thinks of all the good men she knows. Wouldn't realky recommend reading this one unless you got time to kill.
