If you ever want to read a book where you hate every character and scream JFC at your book every third page as a form of stress relief from your daily life - boy do I have a recommendation for you. Not a single likable character.
This book does follow a favorite plot tool of Frieda’stwisting a person’s name into something just obscure enough it doesn’t send up too many red flags. But looking at my annotations I nailed that twist concretely at page 35.
I liked turtles, and now I’m going to side eye every single one until this book falls from my memory.
While I appreciate the inclusion of a spectrum character, I hate that she was so unlovable and unredeemable. An unfair slam, imo.
