This book should not be this long. It really shouldn't. There has been a vague synopsis of a plot, and only 60% into the book do we actually see them do something about it but it is so underdeveloped it's not even gripping.
Oh and don't even get me started on Roxy being "not like other girls" because the f***ing gull of this b-. Every other female character is labeled as fake and gold diggers because they have lip fillers and boob implants. But not Roxy. Oh no, homegirl listened to AC/DC and has opinions so she is just super unique. Plus she's just rude. Like she makes comment on people like its supposed to be funny when its just insulting. She reminds me of a high school bully.
Also the vague misogyny in the male POVs??? The way they degrade other women and then elevate Roxy??? Or Roxy shaming other women for sleeping with older men to get jewels when she sleeps with FOUR older men and gets jewels???
Plus the repetitiveness of these characters. Like we get it. They are YOUR Vipers.
Not even the smut could keep me intrigued.
