This was such an excellent book and story to read. Amazing debut from the author and makes me extremely interested in reading her second book.
But please make sure you are mentally ready to read this book. While I would highly recommend it, it’s also a mentally taxing book to read.
This book made me understand better how women in certain situations think that I definitely didn’t take into account ever. The dual POVs and changes from the 90s to 2000s was such a great way to read this story. There are so many books TikTok and social media has lead me to and I’m real glad for this one.
