I found the protagonist's character and development to be very interesting, but the plot spiralled into such ludicrous absurdity that it was hard to enjoy any of it by the end. The author asks us to suspend disbelief too far on too many occasions.

Heavy and twists I did not see coming. Check trigger warnings.

I loved every minute of this! And I honestly kept having to remind myself it wasn’t a memoir.
