My god. Not to be harsh but I mean come on. I read this book with my book club and if I was not a person who thrives from spite I would have dnf'd this book. Like I had high hopes at the beginning but then it becomes exhausting to read. I loved the characters at the beginning but then we slowly move through the plot and the interesting things are skipped over and completely ignored. The writing was not great either, like I can't even put into words how this book made me feel. It felt like a chore.
