The writing is good but I wasn’t really invested in the story and I didn’t like the characters, which is the point but it didn’t work for me

“So I fell in love with an axe murderer!”

This book was fine just kind of boring, and I found the main character really irritating. Some hot takes on womanhood and cults that just don’t vibe with me.
