Read it because of nostalgia. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but not as good as I remembered it. Still kinda liked it, because those books were basically my childhood.

This book was neither good nor bad. At some points this book was just to much. To much cringe, to many stereotypes and to much happening at once. Plus, sometimes the main characte gave me pick me girl vibes. But on the other side I really liked to idea of the story and the ending was really amazing. So yeah, I have mixed feelings about this book.
Edit: What I was trying to say, I like it. Kind of.

It made me so uncomfortable to watch that women slowly loose her sanity, because her stupid husband ignored or simply not caref about her piont of view. And the great depiction of her thought process makes it even sadder.
