Was supposed to read this for a book club. Did not. Thank god.

Dnf'd at 17% because literally what the fuck was going on. Who the hell are these people. The MMC sucks. The FMC sucks. The writing sucks. I've read better fanfiction. Someone tell me who's reading these so I can send them a link to a therapist
