This definitely is a book that will leave you pondering over so much, especially when it comes to love & relationships. I felt that even though I was struggling to accept the choices and decisions our female MC was making, they ultimately were hers to make, not mine. I loved Joy and wish there was a book on her story alone. The ending felt abrupt and I wish it ended cleaner but minus that this was a novel that wasn’t afraid to be a little messy, provocative and spicy 🤭
