There’s racist tropes of angry POC, a LOT of fatphobia, and a wildy misogynistic fantasy rape and murder scene- literally none of this was necessary at all.

I found that there were a lot of distressing moments in this novel, but having said that, the characters were so well written that I wanted to continue reading to the end. The final chapter was beautifully written, and the ending was very satisfying.

Please look up content warning before reading this one. 
It’s a story about a very toxic couple, their friends and how they all live in this devil circle where everyone makes bad decisions. It is tough to read. The very very End is giving the Reader a glimes of hope.
