I can’t believe I just read ~500 pages of the most hypocritical narcissistic male gaslighting, SAing, threatening, and stalking one of the most annoyingly ignorant female characters.
The only reason this has a 2.5 instead of a 1 was because I actually enjoyed the murder mystery story that unfolded throughout. (It’s the only reason I pushed through after the gun scene iykyk)There’s a handful of good quotes but 97% of this book is poorly written with the same phrases used repeatedly throughout the book. While the book ends on a cliffhanger, I honestly couldn’t care less what happens in book 2 with Zade or Addie.
