DNF. It reads like awful fanfiction. I’m supposed to believe the connection between these two women in 30 pages all on their “vibe” alone?
I’m glad there’s a trigger warning considering there are TWO rapes roughly 50ish pages in. I can look past some of the books I’ve read that are 20+ years old and were written in a time where the discussion regarding how rape shouldn’t be used as character development. But this came out last year. I’m not upset that the promised to be explicit book turned out to be just so, I’m upset that it’s a terrible character building choice.
Not to mention these two women are incredibly awful for each other, from what I thumbed through. The dialogue is full of gaslighting and toxicity.
So intrigued by the idea of each chapter being through someone else’s eyes, but nothing else sold this for me. Disappointed because I was so excited to read this one.
