Don't bother reading this. Apart from finding several typos, this book was also not well written. The characters were contradicting themselves at each turn. There was barely any plot and no development of actually personalities. The treatment of the main character is literally just abusive and there are no redeeming qualities to her either.

The inspiration for this is very obvious but was also somewhat entertaining so I didn’t mind I guess.
