The author wanted to do an unapologetic girl boss seeking revenge who forgives no abuse and a love triangle that’s an actual love triangle (throuple) and 100% succeeds. I love the lengths the author goes to in order for the memes. I had. A lot of fun and can’t wait for the sequel.
Favorites quotes below:
“Perks of refusing to play by the rules: you don’t have to choose between the boy who’d torture a man to death with you and the boy who welcomes you back with pastries.”
“Shame and humiliation are self-imposed emotions, and from here on out, I choose not to feel them.”
“What I have learned through this madness is that you can absolutely solve your problems by throwing money at them. If you can't, you probably don't have enough money for that particular problem”
Good for her.
