I’m already regretting reading this LOL
Just needed to be sure all the people who told me that no, really, I’d like it, we’re wrong 😬
Things have improved somewhat - not in the sense that I enjoy it more, but in the sense that I do want to finish it.
Two main things - I hate the very detached, unfeeling writing style. It’s just so cold and inhuman. I feel like it’s from the POV of a robot who is impersonating a human.
I’m also so frustrated with how passive the main character is. She says Nick is passive, but his passivity doesn’t compare.

I hope people can see my previous comments while I was reading it as part of this review. The ending I somewhat liked because there was less of the main character being herself.
Sped through this because I just wanted it to be over.
