I almost DNF’d this one. The premise of the book was an immediate yes for me; I’ll always be excited for non-monogamous characters/plot lines. However, by the third chapter, I thought to myself, “this isn’t going to work and it’s going to end bad”. I felt like this wasn’t a great representation of non-monogamous relationships, but I also wonder if that was the whole point of the book. I didn’t really care for either of the main characters. However, I did enjoy the character development throughout the book. This one is heavy character-driven and the flaws of the main characters are essentially the entire plot, so if that’s your thing, you might enjoy this! Despite me not loving this one, I’ll always champion books that explore relationships that aren’t traditional (normalize it!) and encourage women empowerment.
