I even skipped to the end in hopes of easing my discomfort with the book. It didn’t help.

One of those books you read until the end. I picked it up because it was exploding on BookTok.

First half was pretty slow and the narrator was unlikable. The pace picked up a bit and my jaw was on the floor as I read the epilogue.
