Good / Okay (Spoilers)

Pros:
Performance
Overall (story/performance)

Cons:
Story

The entire plot was based on a young adult female who was jilted by several men; but the only man who mattered was her first sexual partner. He seduced her, promised marriage, then ditched.
So this is the main revenge, while others in and around the story are somewhat or completely destroyed.

best book I've read in a long time... highly recom

Incredibly well read. So many twists and turns. I wish there was more to read.

some great plot, others tedious.

Performance is excellent. The book follows two women. One out for revenge, the other without any purpose in the world. Noel is a fascinating character to watch. Catherine, on the other hand, lacks agency or real desire. bleh. ultimately, catherine ruined what could be a great book.

He’s a master.

It’s been so long since I’ve enjoyed such an engaging book. The construction of his plotting and his character development is spot on.

Sheldon being Sheldon

Not trying to spoil it, it was a surprising history… I love it. I also love the narrator, he really made the characters come alive. 5 stars to him as well.
