I think that if the writing style would have been different, the first half would have been more enjoyable. It started as if Ivy was telling / journaling the story to her therapist instead of the story actually being told. 

Also, the repeating of information from the same POV was weird. 

Overall, the ending was the best part - and that was only because I had invested enough time to want to know what really happened and how the revenge would play out. 

And anytime I can just put a book down and not think about it.. umm 🫤
