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.
