This is like watching reality tv. It’s a fucking mess but so hilariously entertaining I‘m already dying to read the next one.
Honestly just know what your getting into. It’s just people being horrible to each other. Also be very aware that there’s some heavy heavy sexism in this book, the whole thing (and BJ because he’s the fucking worst) basically tries to gaslight you into thinking magnolia is the bad guy here, she herself is also pretty advanced in pick me girl behaviour (and also thinks it’s valid to make fun of men for.. getting manicures???).
The MCM of this book is just your typical man who is very suprised that his actions actually have consequences and will try anything to try to avoid having to face them.
Again, nothing about this is healthy or actually good, just pure brains off entertainment.
