Grace is fairly entertaining as a main character because of just how dislikable she is - be prepared to be insulted by her narration because she’s judgmental enough to leave literally nobody unscathed. Some of her monologue-esque chapters felt too long and repetitive after a while though, and her constant negativity was getting hard to read at the end.

For some reason I felt certain that all of this would pay off when it all came together in the end but that is by far the most infuriating and unsatisfying end to a book I’ve ever read. It felt like the author pulled the rug from under our feet for no solid reason other than she could????
