sometimes the answer is to stop writing weird fetishy trauma porn. half of the book is just suzy getting oggled at, being threatened with sexual assault or listening to tyrades about women being worthless. it's boring once you get over the shock factor and how poorly it's used.
every character other than the main two is innocent and dumb and trusting as opposed to our eternal edgelord who not a barbie, but someone you'd find at the thrift store (actual quote). a woman stops her car in the middle of the night because the plot needed to advance and was poorly excused with "women are not taught to trust their own gut". please...
animals are constantly dying which also gets exhausting and boring. theres a huge time skip of about two years right when things get mildly interesting and then boom. it's just weird misogynistic plotlines and more animal murder. the ending is incredibly lackluster and with the way this girl has been behaving its VERY hard for me to believe no one thought anything was wrong with her and tried to put her in some form of psychiatric care. you're really not as slick and smart as your thought process seems to think.
