I was really heartbroken that I couldn’t engage with this book. Personally it felt like a betrayal, it started as a promising take on the #metoo movement and ended up as lame story about cancel culture and the impact of the accusations on men. It definitely reads as a debut novel, it would have benefited so much from tight editing.
I listened as an audiobook and the narration was excellent, super engaging and really kept me going at moments when I wanted to DNF it.Ana Martins 2024-02-25
