Hated it, and I don't usually use such strong descriptors. I thought it was unnecessarily graphic and gratuitous. Some great, really interesting scenes to do with her job and the intricacies of a breaking down marriage but not good enough to redeem the book for me. Horrible, awful characters and the whole thing was just packed to the brim with tropes. Not my jam at all.

This was good, I was hooked but I didn’t really enjoy it. I hated all the characters, I didn’t trust anyone, I needed to keep reading to find out what had happened but feel torn, can see why people love it and why people hate it.
