I liked the ending of the book more than most of the book. I expected more Bethlehem and Palestine than the US or a 12 Step Addiction Therapy.
Our main character suffers from love addiction. She’s emotionally cheating on her girlfriend. She cheats. Her mother is a Narcissist who can’t accept a daughter who isn’t straight. And overall I kind of wish I hadn’t read this book. But, I am glad to have not DNFd.
