3.5/5 ⭐️

julie tudor is DEFINITELY a psychopath.. julie babes, do you want the number to my therapist??

📖 plot & pace: this story follows Julie Tudor's unhinged life using multiple timelines (current and events from her past). Julie has had a few different love interests, but none of them have turned out... good (or healthy). this book was pretty fast paced, making it easy to get consumed by it.

👥 characters: Julie's poor love interests... boy did they deserve better! there's a few different ones in this story, but the current (Sean) is the one i feel most sorry for. Julie is definitely super unhinged HAHA and a terrible person.. the people around her felt immense pain because of her actions.

🤩 tropes: dark romance (?), stalkerish vibes, mentally unstable FMC, "am i the drama?" (yes julie you are)

the one thing i didn't like was the pets.. 😣 i just can't stomach animal cruelty, even in the small mentions this book had. i also feel julie's behavior was never explained, which is understandable being from her POV, but it would've been nice to have some insight into her character development (was she always like this? was there a traumatic event?)

otherwise, this was an enjoyable read and if you like unhinged characters with a little ✨insanity✨ & dark humor, this is definitely for you!
