3.5

This book made me upset. It's good, it kept me entranced the whole way through, but the main character is an awful person and I spent a lot of my time reading this being disgusted with him.

Definitely recommend it for fans of dark historical dramas who don't mind an unreliable narrator! Definitely do not recommend it for anyone who likes to root for the main character, or who doesn't want to read about toxic relationships.
