A protagonist who is the queen of unlikeable, crazy protagonists. A bunch of young boys who trust and need women too much. A best friend with a savior complex. A mental breakdown. A traumatic childhood. This checks EVERY box in my list of favorite tropes. Absolutely hated everything the protagonist did, from start to finish, which means it was perfect.
This really could have done with a closer look at her past and a faster pace though. That's the only complaint I have.
