Honestly I never leave reviews but this book has me mad as f***.
The ending specifically. I was expecting the author to be gearing up to some big reveal that redeemed the protagonist but no, she’s just insane with a list of unspecified diagnoses, and every last point of intrigue was entirely made up as a result of those diagnoses. How lazy!!! Not to mention ableist, namely in perpetuating stereotypes of the mentally ill.
All in all an incredibly disappointing waste of a day and I would not recommend it.
