The Good:
- Main character is flawed
- Loved the sick weird stuff she kept doing
- Main character's backstory is relatable (?) or at the very least it makes you understand her better
- The characters are all tied together in a complex way
- No huuuuge plot twists but there is one good one
The Bad:
- It could/should have been trimmed. There are too many extra details that I don't feel like they are necessary for either advancing the plot nor fleshing the characters out.
- I'm unsure where the "climax" of the story is, if there is one. I guess the bathroom scene could be a climax, but it didn't feel very dramatic?
- The ending was okay, decent, but left me wanting a bit more drama

A lot of talk about how Juliette is unlikeable, which is absolutely fair. She makes it very hard to sympathize with her a lot of the time. That being said I couldn't help but think that if the genders were reversed and the MC was significantly more sexually aggressive that it would drive the Dark Romance BookTok Girlies absolutely feral.
But we're probably not ready for that conversation.

Fairly interesting POV, the plot was rather slim and mainly relied on our interest in the main character to keep the story moving but it makes an entertaining thriller that's written well.
