The plot itself was pretty unbelievable, very unrealistic but it made for entertaining reading. Some incredibly dark themes are explored, with a struggling, traumatized main character who was quite likable. I liked that Camille was a sort of anti-hero, but sadly classic tropes about female beauty still existed for her - Over and over again its mentioned how beautiful she is, and all the men crush on her. The plot is pretty insane but the storyline and characters are strong.
