You ever read a book and you’re not quite sure why you liked it as much as you did?
Objectively, this is a pretty average book but it’s a fun and quick read. I’ve been in quite a reading slump recently, and this definitely got me out of it. There was just something about this book that was so unserious and I found it to be ridiculous and funny at times lol.
This book is riddled with misogyny and very much written by a man. Personally, I didn’t feel a lot of the tension or the build up. I think this is a book that would be a lot better going in blind. I don’t think I enjoyed the book in the way that I was supposed to…..but I actually did end up liking it in an odd way and idk the book was kinda camp lol 3.5 stars.
