The only reason I finished this book is for info about other characters so I can continue the series.
I did not like this FMC at all. Some terrible things happen to her but she also makes poor decision after poor decision and we’re supposed to blame that on her ADHD. Nope, that’s not how ADHD works. And it’s a very unfair assessment of people who have it in real life. It’s presented in a very simplistic manner when it’s actually far more complex.
Her bad decision making is all her own. She lies by omission, never gives a straight answer to a question choosing to instead respond with sarcasm. Mostly, this story is one big miscommunication trope. One conversation would have cleared up so much.
