I did thoughrly enjoy this book and it's fast pace and helpful because I was starting to slump in my reading so it pushed me out but I just felt especially with the romance between the throuple there wasn't enough development for my liking and it felt at some parts plot wise and character wise to quick also it did feel heavy handed with the feminism themes. The sequel is 200 pages longer so I hope they have listened to the advice and slow the brakes more
