Did not like this one at all. Dora is a cop, but goes to work maybe twice in the whole book and does not talk, think, or act like a cop. Nothing about the marriage or breakup feels realistic (which lines up with the plot twist but also girl what are you doing) and the constant misogyny and kind of eco fascist rhetoric from her put me off. The fantasy parts are mostly boring because nothing is described at all to avoid giving away the goofy plot twist.
