maybe the physical book is better at it, but the time jumps were pretty jarring at times in the audiobook

I just couldn't get into the story. I think after reading the synopsis initially I was interested but then when I went to read the book it just didn't appeal to me anymore. It seems like a good book from what I read of it, but it just wasn't for me.

This book was hard to get through. help. really burnt out on books that are from the cheater’s perspective like idgaf. 
Main character is the worst so it’s like oh okay you’re cheating again. She doesn’t really ever grow or improve and the narrative just drags on with her falling for another terrible person. idk. kind of plotless. not to be a hater. I just wanted it to be over. 
relate to her mom being emotionally abusive though. 🎃
