I just finished this book and I 100% find it weird.

The book was not bad... just weird.

The husbands/man were... disgusting.

I think the book is more than what it says is almost a critic to society in itself. But it's so weird that I could not see anything else.

And... the amount of trigger warnings this has... is absurd!!
