I picked this book because I saw it was narrated by the same narrator of another book I enjoyed. I was on the waiting list for a few weeks at my library, so this made me think this book had a lot of hype. In reality, it was very uncomfortable to listen to. There was a ton of gaslighting of the main character, to an unrelenting level sometimes. And the ending was very anti-climactic to me. I am glad that the protagonist learned to value herself and decided to end the relationship, but it was just uncomfortable to me.
