I’m going to be honest, I didn’t think I was going to like this book as much as I did. It felt predictable and simple at the start. As I got deeper in, I just couldn’t put it down. It felt like I was getting ragebaited by all the men in the story and it made me want to keep reading hoping that they would all get what they deserve. Was I satisfied with the ending? No. Did I like the characters? Also, no. I did enjoy reading it despite these things because it sparked so many emotions (mostly rage) in me and I love when a book can get me emotionally invested with the story.
