Status Updates From The Guilt Trip

Here I am again, hoping things change at some point, but really so far all I can say about the themes of this book so far are Internalized Misogyny x Confirmation Bias. And still.....NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.

I'm sorry, but this main character is insufferable. She's guilty, and projecting her mess all over everyone else. I don't know how much more I can take of her wringing her hands over unfounded suspicions and casting unfair judgements over everyone else for another how many hundred pages.

It's just all......jealous, snarky, judgmental, insecure women back and forth and back and forth.

My takes so far: It's moving slowly for something marketed as a mystery/thriller. I'm nearly 30% through and we haven't established a true conflict yet. It's reading more soap opera-y than anything else, just really domestic-y and gossip-y, where no one ever just says what they're feeling.
