Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Pardon my language here but, I’m sorry, what the fuck was that? The pacing is incredibly slow, the narration of past and present is confusing at best, and the characters are mind-numbingly boring. Delphine is whiny and self-loathing, as if communicating with her friends her true feelings would actually kill her. Lindsey is selfish and childish, vindictive without consequences. And Margaux was so flat that it felt like even the author sometimes forgot the character existed in the book.
What was the twist in this book? That men are terrible? I’m missing how this was supposed to be a surprise to any female reader. I was lost as to what the plot exactly was, in this book. This was a disappointing read. There is no suspense, no thrills, and honestly, not a single twist.
