This book has no business being this long, I think a lot of things could have been cut out so it was a more concise and enjoyable story.
I found the characters to be so surface level, even their “complex traumas” were dull and predictable. The representation of characters and sexuality in this book are horrendously built from stereotypical tropes.
The bi/pansexual character is promiscuous and flippant about cheating.
The Catalonia woman is cold, greedy and a “man stealer”.
The disabled character is needy, unwilling to do things on her own not because she can’t but because she won’t. Then at the end she’s suddenly so much better, all because she lost some weight and got her man back.
That’s just naming a few that come to mind.
I should have DNF’d but I was just hoping the story got better.
