I’m not even sure why I started this book because the first one wasn’t good. Epic levels of toxicity and hypocrisy. Neither of the main characters were likable. In fact, I didn’t find any of the characters likable. The male main character is allowed to get away with an absurd amount of abuse because, what, he’s attractive? The inner monologue of both main characters was annoying and lacked any depth or reflection. Overall the writing was poor, repetitive, and seemed to aim for shock value rather than any substance.
