Kind of a let down tbh. This book was very hyped up, and then in the middle of the book I was so ready to be done reading. The twist in the middle is good. The first half had me intrigued, and I really bought into Amy, then the twist hits, and it’s exciting. Then I was kinda just hanging on trying to see how it would wrap up, trying to decide if I still needed to care about these terrible people. The last third is exciting. The ending I know is controversial, and I’m not bothered by inconclusive endings usually. But idk I felt sorta meh about it. I think I would’ve liked it more if I’d never heard of it. I also won’t take any reviews calling this book feminist literature in good faith because it is not good feminist literature
