this book was enjoyable, but i just couldn’t get past how insufferable the main character is. she is terrible and selfish and while that might be the point i don’t know, i just couldn’t enjoy her never-ending monologues. her internalised misogyny is too much. the love scenes were good but not a lot else. don’t read this if suicide themes, animal abuse and addiction trigger you.
