Awwh, I'm so sorry this didn't turn out as expected. Hope your next read is much better, Yun! Wonderful review<3<3
Not a book that I plan to read, but pretending to be one thing and hating those who are living the lives you actually covet does seem pointless. I always enjoy reading all POV’s on a book, so thank you! Terrific review!
I'm so sorry that this book missed its mark completely. If you create an unhinged character is does need to be balanced out with other things. Beautiful and fair review Yun. ♥
Amazing review, Yun! Really enjoyed reading your critique and I so agree with so many of your points when it comes to what I want to see in the books that are juggling both satire and social commentary.

Thanks, Priyanka! Glad you understand where I'm coming from and you feel similarly. :)
Wonderful review Yun! Seems like the way the character was created was strange. I feel like either the character embracing this lifestyle or allowing herself to change if she wanted would be more interesting. People are should always live how they want ❤️
Natalie sounds really frustrating! Hope your next read is better. Excellent review, Yun🧡
Oh no! What a letdown Yun! Excellent review though!
Fantastic, honest review, Yun! And thank you! I was debating on reading this- but I would struggle with the very same things you discussed- so thank you for sparing me this read!!!😳💕
This is such a thoughtful review. I’m going to steer clear of this book! I don’t need that level of negativity in my headspace so I really appreciate what you shared.
oh no this actually sounds miserable and i could def see an insufferable character. it has such a good topic to write about but too bad it didnt go the best way. i can see why this was disappointing. hope your next read is better yun!
Ugh 😩 I picked this one as my april botm. Im sorry this one was disappointing for you but great review though 😊
Wonderful review, Yun. The premise is intriguing, but your descriptions of the execution of the story wouldn't have worked for me either.
Good subversive satire is not easy to do. I am sorry this was such letdown! Excellent review, Yun 🫶
It's a shame this was a disappointing read! It definitely doesn't sound like my cup of tea either. Great review, Yun 💙
Uff! What you say you thought this book would be is exactly what I thought when I added it to my TBR shelf. Clearly itsnot what I thought and that's too bad. Taking it off the shelf. Thanks for this review, Yun. 💚
Fantastic review, Yun! 💖 I enjoyed your critique of this novel. I hope you have an amazing book lined up next.

Loved your review...very helpful. I passed on this, and your review is a confirmation that I wanted. Thanks Yun.
I'm only 100 pages into this book and your review has hit home. It is an odd concept and curious how it unfolds. But as I'm reading it's once again women against women and judging the choices we make. I'm curious what is to come with the social media aspect but her internal dialogue so far is really uncalled for and beyond judgmental.
you lost me at paragraph four...i didn't even read the book and im raising an eyebrow but the fact that you had to suffer through it is unfortunate asf, i'm sorry yun 😭
After reading your observations about this book, I'm glad I put it aside. Thanks for another great review, Yun
I would have softly closed the book earlier. Yun, I give you credit. I bought it and will give it my 35 page rule.
I have this one on my TBR and hope I don’t regret choosing it for my BOTM! Sorry you didn’t love this one. Fantastic and thoughtful review, Yun! ☺️
Oh no!! I do plan on reading this one but given your thoughts, I shall know when to call it quits early. Fair review, Yun.

Thanks, Kara! Glad it's not just me, though sorry you're running into the same issues. It's as you say, that it comes across as women against women, and we don't need more of that. 😕
