Chasing Us by Kat T. Masen

you know the books and movies that are so bad but kinda fun in an unhinged way? that was the first book in this series. unfortunately, the same can't be said for this one.

the genuine anger and tears of frustration while reading this was unhealthy. i literally had a stomachache while reading most of the book because i was disgusted. 

in the last 100 pages of this book, the mmc both SA's and cheats on the fmc because he is "grieving" and thinks he is better off pushing his wife away - that he literally spent a whole book and a half trying to get with - rather than talking to her about his issues. while he is being an absolute jackass to her, she is out trying to make him jealous by leaving him with their child and going out to the bar for drinks. she might end up dancing/flirting with some dudes? i think she even ends up drugged, which is where the mmc "saves the day" and magically shows up to take her home. this is when he SA's her while she's literally passed out in bed. anyway, name a more toxic couple....oh right, there isn't one. 

by the end, we're just supposed to just be okay with all of this. why? because the way they resolve their issues is by having a heart to heart in the fucking epilogue where they openly admit to all their wrong doings and just agree to a fresh start. what they both desperately need is a divorce and therapy.
