I‘m so ambivalent about this book. I really hated the FMC in like the first half of the book, but she got better and recognised her mistakes and everything. But… idk… her constant hate on other women made it kinda unpleasant nonetheless. I mean, why do we have the constant need to put other women down? Isn‘t it enough that men do that (which was basically the whole point of the book). Idk… the ending was OK. Yeah… definitely check trigger warnings for this one!
