Like the idea but couldn’t get past the extreme lack of consent and lusting after men who were extremely violent and abusive. Most of the book felt like a very long, graphic description of horrendous bullying

This is me being generous here but I actually feel dumber after audiobooking this. So someone in my book club raves about this series, I notice it's a full cast read which atm my brain is really liking but genuinely  this was just mean... The females were poorly written and the males. My god.... I will.... Not read Anymore!!
