Honestly, it was an uncomfortable read Something that irks me is in one of the reviews listed here on the description of the book says “…with a male and female love interest” I kept waiting for something to up the ante some kind of twist or turn but nada. This was a story where legit all the female characters were in a lesbian relationship or like the two heroines get into a relationship with each other. It paints a bad look on men and my last relationship was with an abuser much like one of the characters in the book; the fact I felt no connection to the dismantling hatred towards this character shows me just how skewed the authors mindset is. Some men are bad people just as some women are bad people. I despise this woe is me for I’m a female hear me roar. I’m sorry but it’s not uplifting it just leaves me feeling the authors second hand self victimizing mentality that is now pushed onto me the reader and therefore supported… I just *sighs*
