Don’t get me wrong, this book and the world it sets up is TOXIC, but I was completely caught in a trance and wanting more! If you think about this book in the realm of reality then you will likely be too distracted by the misogyny, entitlement, violence, and overall red flags of our MMC, and respective red flags of the FMC for being so attracted to it all, but if you can separate it then you might just find yourself having some fun. One of those “it couldn't be me,” but a thrill ride to read.
