i have really mixed feelings. on one hand, the writing was brilliant, the characters were toxic just the way i like them, and the vibes were solid (very secret history). but the plot… was all over the place.
their “business” never made much sense. the highs and lows of the relationships switched up a little too quickly. and while i liked the narrator in concept, some of her motivations just didn’t click. i understand that she was basically just a ball of rage but sometimes she acted like she felt absolutely nothing, and it seemed contrary? idk!
i read an arc from netgalley.
