This wasn’t my type of book - I don’t usually read sad endings or books which are completely focused on angst. However, I also feel justified in disliking it, as the main character never develops. My FAVORITE part of books is character development, but the only upward motion we see in S is because of a time skip when the development has happened without the reader. I would have liked a lot more payoff for suffering through her situation. But that’s how life is

From my perspective characters can and should be flawed and complex but the main character seemed abusive and the author seemed to be trying very hard to get the reader to still “like” and/or root for her.

There were instances of what felt to me like penis envy that seems unnecessary.
