Wow this was shit.
Nothing in this book worked. Nothing. I’m honestly a bit in awe by that.
The characters were so unlikable. They were acting like unethical assholes the entire time, were stuck up or were just otherwise written in ways to make it impossible to like them. There was no spark in their relationships. Nothing was worked out. Nothing was properly developed.
The plot was stuffed by a bunch of stuff. It felt like the author was afraid she would run out of things to write about and kept throwing new ideas into the story. In the end, nothing was resolved. The book didn’t deal with any of the things it attempted in an appropriate manner.
