3.5

I legitmiately had to take a break after reading that ending. Tampa is gross given the subject matter, but I found Celeste's predatory appraoch interesting and how awful her character is entertaining to anaylze and dissect. After the climax of the novel, it felt like a horrible fever dream and the ending was bleak.  

There are so many flaws to Celeste's plan if people took the time to notice her behavior. I am just emotionally exhausted by how horrible this protag is
