(wip)

Not a single character would know common sense if it reared up and bit them in the ass. Alex has all the intellect of a dead goldfish, and for some reason the moment she stands out in public every man within 20 feet aggro on. her two diner friends—the only vaguely interesting characters in the book—are flat.

The prose is boring and basic and will on occasion slip from third to general you second, which is a pet peeve of mine. 

The plot is both contrived and boring.

The setting is New York in the 2020s but it really shouldn’t be. 

The only vaguely interesting sections are the dear constance letters and even those feel out of place. They’re not written like a person telling their story, they’re written like a novel or a short story, neither of which reads as believable in the context of being (supposedly) a letter.

Anyway. I need you not to read this and spend your time doing something else. I only finished this book because it was the only one thing on my phone during my commute (and my Netgalley score is already struggling).
