I had no joy reading this book. I got angry a few times over the misogynistic rape culture tone of some scenes (basically this is like a nice-guy male gaze fantasy). It was sprinkled with a bit of fatphobia, specism, ableism, ageism, and so on. The story was so predictable too (it's the last book of a series which got progressively worse in terms of enjoyment - for me anyway-).
