The premise sounded interesting and I really like the title, but unfortunately the story itself was subpar at best. I wish the chapters were fleshed out more (seriously one of the chapters was literally one sentence). Because of the meandering writing style and the way things were narrated from each main character’s point of view, I was often pretty confused. Not sure what the end goal of the story was, but it seems to have missed the mark…by a lot. I added a .25 to my 1 star rating just to be nice honestly. Really a shame because this story has themes that are worth exploring and it could’ve been a great read. Oh well, on to the next one.

There is a rape scene that caught me off guard a bit. It’s not super detailed, but detailed enough that you know it’s happening. The scene seemed a little unnecessary if you ask me.wraithlike's review

The book had a lot of promise in the premise and set up but ultimately did not deliver.

I’m not sure which I hate more…myself for spending money on this book. Or this book.

What was the point of this? It seemed to think it was much smarter than it was.
