Jävligt bra, mötte med något ännu bättre när den blev lite tråkig (den va inte tråkig ofta) och glimpsarna av 3 år tillbaka och nutid va bra timing. Gillade epilogen den va söt.
The catacombs scene och steam room/sauna scene va ju de mest… intressanta

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.
