Such messy and unlikeable—but still loveable—MCs in this book. I loved the drama of it all, but I went against my rule of not reading books where sapphic couples fall out of love and cheat on each other, as it makes me feel great despair. The plot felt very original and interesting to me, but gender theory and gender roles are really talked to death by Reese et al.

This had sprinklings of good representation, but for the most part was boring at best and misogynistic at worst. Others have elaborated on this well, so I don't feel I can add much more to the discussion except for my disgust at the DV/validating gender through gender based violence. So much of this was problematic and I wanted to DNF so many times
