Soft DNF, might revisit this later. Maybe I’ve been reading too much of Mona Awad’s work and need a break. I started this immediately after finishing Rouge and Bunny.
Miranda is a very unlikeable main character, which is fine - I enjoy reading characters who are complex and have lots of dimension. I have chronic pain and on bad pain days I know I come across as unlikable to others, so I did identify with Miranda’s anger. However, the anger and jealousy she felt towards her students rubbed me the wrong way especially because these emotions lead her to sexualize them (especially Briana) and this gave me such an ick.
Anyways, I might revisit this later but I’d rather search for other books that explore chronic pain and read those first.

didn’t like the multi pov, got so invested in the first pov and then it switched so suddenly and i lost interest
too many characters gets introduced at once, introduced without any background information and I got confused
