This was very entertaining lol!!  I read on reddit that someone said there were too many plot twists and it was dumb, but personally... I loved the plot twists because they were so trite idk!!  I also found the characters funny ngl. 

I think Maud and Sue are truly the only victims lmaoooo and I am counting Gentleman! Maud's abuse... that is so despicable and the fact she didn't even have to be there!!!  Omg I feel for her and her anger.  She's crazy as fuck and I think people forget.  She was soooo mean and violent to Agnes... fucked up!  She had Gentleman assault Agnes to get rid of her like girl that's not cool.  Like the way I literally read that and was like ohhhh so Sue is like not even that bad omg.  Sue was going to rob her of $3k but like she was actually raised in poverty omg can you blame her for being a little bad??? 

To me, the real villain is Mrs. Sucksby she was supposed to protect Sue and instead she tricked her and sent her to die in a madhouse!  Like I know that Sue would have given her the money if she had known about the Switch.  Mrs. Sucksby was a greedy bitch!  Was she fucking Gentleman?? Like I didn't understand their dynamic at all.  I think maybe he was just raised by her similar to Sue, but that doesn't really make sense because Sue was supposedly special yk?  The way Sue was made a fool by all of the lies at the end!  She visited her in prison and cried for her and defended her... it's so hard to see!

I feel for Charles lol I would also be a crybaby if I lived any part of this lol!  I hate John Vroon and justice for Dainty!!
