This has promise. And some of the middle act was appealing. But I got bored. And lost interest in the “capital D” drama.

well can't say it's a good book but it's enjoyable if you accept a bunch of things just don't make sense
and the mystery part was interesting enough 
I had to roll my eyes every time a bunch of fucking 19/22 year olds were soo powerful and untouchable though lol feels ridiculous

I’m conflicted. Screw men, but can I have some more of them? So many emotions, so much anger at ignorant entitled men but I couldn’t put the book down. Would I recommend this to everyone? No, but the people I would recommend it to already know who they are. To them I say, stay toxic and enjoy the shit show, I sure did.
