This book was just -meh- for me. There were so many cringey moments (too many to count) and it had so much potential for being an interesting read. Gaynor was the only character I actually liked (Nella was interesting but for some reason I found her... ✨ boring? ✨) who didn't suffer from desperately-wanting-to-have-a-baby syndrome because apparently the only options for women are to settle down and have babies or have a successful career. Oh, and also little Eliza thinking her period was happening because of ghost revenge, that was something else.
