Boring book where nothing happens except the main character exploits her closeted background to lie and treat everyone in the worst way possible yet somehow it all works out for her. 

Despite hating the English language for colonialism etc (fair enough), Ava consistently uses the poshest words I’ve never fucking heard before in my life. 

Maybe if I had a better command of  English I would’ve felt something from reading this.

Insufferable MC who has an inferiority complex and could not stop overcompensate for said complex

I struggled to get into this book. The middle third was better but I struggled with the final third again. The way it was written, I found it hard to follow what the main character was thinking, and found her over thinking difficult to follow at times.
