Hah, wow. My first and only Freida McFadden because wow, this was bad! So bad. If I didn’t listen to it via audio I would have dnf’d it and missed out on how awful Sydney is as a character.

Oh I will share some actual critiques! I didn’t like the slight fatphobia present and found it strange how it was the men who were perceived to be ugly that were the awful perverts and are rightfully shamed, whilst the tall muscular gorgeous man was allowed to be a complete weirdo and red flag because he is handsome and tall! Weird.
