(sighs) i should've dnf'd this. tell me why this took me SO LONG to finish despite being so short. tell me why this was boring as hell. tell me why i read it anyway. this book is weird and not even in a good way, more in an "internalized misogyny" kind of way. why is the manic pixie dream girl trope in here? why is the male main character so violent towards women and insufferable? why did this book have absolutely nothing to say about any of that at all? not to mention the countless spelling/grammar errors that i'm sure weren't always intentional. anywayz this book sucked booooo tomato tomato tomato.
