You could remove 50% of the words from this book and there would still be too many. Was looking forward to reading this after Harriet was such a ledge on the traitors, but I found everything about this so annoying: predictable plot, unlikeable characters, the classic ‘successful women must be made to feel bad’ trope, drawn out start + middle with all the good bits thrown in at the end, the list goes on!!

A slow burn that nearly lost me, but redeemed an extra star in the final stretch.

This book has sooooo many themes, but the pacing was painfully slow for me. Nearly DNF’d and sadly skim read lots of this, but the last 10% picked up and saved it slightly. Feels harsh considering the other reviews, and I think I can see why, it just didn’t quite land for me personally.
