★☆☆☆☆
Took it as a beach read, put it down as unreadable
In a word: crap. I took this book with me on a beach vacation because I wanted something to breeze through, something to entertain me. I do not ask for much in my beach reads: plot, some coherent writing, character development. I gave this book more than a fair shot. But I'm stopping at page 175. Poor writing, flat characters, and the author's sexist tone seeps off every page. Every female psychosis is on display here: dressing the part, feeling worthless, feeling like a child, sexual motivation behind how men act, women's revenge, "I'm a force to be reckoned with," "all these men," the list goes on.... I can't take it anymore. Life is too short to read bad books like this one. I hate it 1/5 Goodreads 1/5 Amazon
