if you want to know what not to do in a relationship, maybe this book is for you. Additionally, maybe I don't hate the writing but I do not like this woman. Maybe that's why it got the score that it did.

If someone else had written this story/plot, my rating probably would have been lower, but the writing bumped the whole novel up at least a star. I used a highlighter all over this book.

Unfortunately, a very reflective and realistic novel for women, and I (disturbingly) felt I saw a friend’s relationship in it.

I recently found out that a new favorite genre of mine is “delulu females”, I thought this would be another but really it just gave me haunting reflections of my past. Not everything was the same, obviously, but feelings and scenarios of my youth in similar situations mirrored this unnamed narrator. I feel like when I started really liking the book it fell off and just stayed flat for me.
