This book was not for me. I should have just stopped reading it, but i struggle to ever do that, always hopeful it'll get better. There was just too much misogyny, too much white guilt, too many gorey details, and not enough interest for me. I appreciate the idea, but the execution was just not what I wanted out of the book.
