5.0
Truly a wild ride from start to finish. The POV character is specifically unlikeable and beyond problematic but watching her lie and spiral was entertaining as hell. Also a really good critique on the court of public opinion.
The build up through the last few chapters made the whole read worth it.
Graphic: Cultural appropriation and Toxic friendship
Moderate: Rape and Gaslighting
