didn't love it, didn't hate it. ig I'm in the middle.
the mc was a little bit insufferable throughout the entire book and extremely selfish and the love triangle was also a bit awful. furthermore, secondary characters did not add anything to the plot and the writing was very cringy and rushed at some points. I mean, they would be like arguing about a dead body and then they kissed. like out of nowhere.
nonetheless, the plot seems interesting and I really liked how this superlative sexism was pictured despite making me mad bc how unfair it is. however, it was such a shame that such a feminist prompt had such awful representation. the women in this book were awfully written and full of stereotypes despite the fact that this book was about empowering women.
the reason why I found myself reading this book was the fact that this is the reading we had to do for this weekend's book club reunion, so I imagine I will be continuing the series. nonetheless, a lot of things in this book could be better.
