3.0

A trans woman sets out to take advantage of a rich friend group and learns who they are in the process. I can definitely see that this book has a market and will be enjoyed by many, but unfortunately I struggled to get into this one properly. I didn't like the characters and while unlikable characters can be fun to read about, I didn't really find this to be the case with these ones. I suspect this at lest in part has to do with some of the people I've had to deal with in real life. But if you like the sound of a trans woman surrounded by dysfunctional friend group drama (I feel like this makes up too much of the book for my taste) then I hope you enjoy the story!

I received a free cop of this book in exchange for an honest review. As always, all opinions are my own.
