3.5

Hm, I guess I’ll have to compare this with other completely misogynistic books I‘ve read. 

The writing style could sometimes be engrossing and sometimes really drag. Readers will find themselves rooting for the characters, and honestly their behavior, while unpredictable, felt like a natural progression of the plot. I was so surprised at the turn it took at the end, but I found myself surprisingly hopeful and satisfied for such a long and often sloggy read.
