I was kind of hating this until I got about 80% of the way through at which point I really started to like it, so, sometime that’s how it goes!

greatly disappointed. i picked this up at the library after seeing all my local book stores put it on their front displays. I really didn’t like it & thought the themes were super messy and frankly have no idea what I am supposed to feel. the redeeming factors of this book was how well it was written (some truly beautiful phrases!) & the way the author develops a truly hatable character.

I did not care about the main character. I feel like nothing really happened apart from a lot of sex and explanations of Joan's childhood trauma.

I really liked this book but there were a few nitpicky things I didn’t love. The slow burn at the beginning just left me kinda confused. I also thought that her response to her childhood trauma was just a little bit too … on the nose … overall, super cool dark story about power, abuse, and rage.

Please check trigger warnings before you read this book, it is VERY intense.
