2.0

I’m thankful the author gave us the ending we all wanted for Violet. However, I do think the social issues currently going in in the world were kind of thrown into the book to have the topics covered rather than playing a pivotal part of the character’s development and storyline. This made it feel really awkward and clumsy at parts.

Libby Hubscher just knows how to hit me in the feels. Violet gets amazing news at work just to go home and find her husband in bed with the neighbor. She goes off the rails and enacts revenge fantasies, but she starts to realize it's affecting her work and relationships. She needs to find her way back. That journey is rough and ugly, but it's also beautiful in a way. Hubscher does this so well. I'll read anything she writes, even though I know I'll need tissues at the end.

SPOILERS AHEAD YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED






I enjoyed this book and really have no notes tbh

Well except one and it was  “damn your moving on quick ….. well i mean he moved on quicker technically” and that was after Violet and Dez kissed 

( i think dez is a dumb name sorry to anyone names dez) 

i say that as if anyone reads my review like girl calm down your talking to your self here 

i told my mom i think the name dez is dumb (completely forgetting she has a coworker named dez) the conversation went like this
 Me- the name dez is dumb
Mom- 
Me- 
Mom- 
Me- ** realizes**
Mom- i’m telling her
Me- 😐🙁
Mom- Well is it short for Desiree
Me- No it’s just the dudes name D.E.Z
Mom- Well that’s a dumb name
Me- **Flabbergasted because i just said that and I WAS A BAD PERSON when i said it**
