Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Wen
Did not finish book. Stopped at 63%.

Absolutely not. Everyone in this book is mad toxic except for the guy they keep calling a player Xavier. 

Spoilers:

Why is this a love square, I hate it.  How is cheating on your girlfriend ok cause she’s  mentally ill??? The revenge porn part is a lot. I stopped after she used Xavier for sex knowing that he really likes her. Booo
