This was a rollercoaster. I found most of it a very uncomfortable read and none of the characters are particularly loveable but I think that’s the point. I genuinely laughed at the end because I had to release the tension I felt every time I got through another chapter.

I had to give up halfway on this book. Literally none of the characters are redeeming. You main character is a doormat. I was filled in on what happens with the lawsuit aspect and it did not surprise me whatsoever. The ‘twists’ were unsurprising when told to me because with how everything was going it’s like ‘of course this happened.’ Just no.

Horrible fanfic style book with a redeeming ending. I don't even know if I enjoyed it after reading it. Every character is horrible
