DNF’ed at 10%.
Honestly, I might come back to this book in the future, but at the moment I just can’t push through this. Evidently, the book is written really well and convincingly so, that the main character (forgotten his name, I don’t care I hate him) is incredibly triggering because of his gaslighting, not just with one woman, but multiple and it is so aggravating that I literally can’t stand him. I can’t stand to read this book; like I’ve tried to read the same few pages multiple times and I just get completely infuriated and close the book. So for now it’s a DNF, however excellent writing because it does what it’s meant to and conveys the hatred for the main d*ckhead of a guy.
