I don’t understand people not liking this book because the main character is unlikable?! That whats makes is so good, I enjoyed being inside her fucked up head.

3.5 ⭐

This book was very funny and entertaining. I heard that people was calling it a satire but I don’t think it delved deep enough to be that. It’s fat free satire. Satire lite. Satire Cosplay.

As a BIPOC woman I can easily see where the inspiration for Natalie came from but I found her to be underdeveloped. People like this exist but they are just as complex as the rest of us and Natalie lacks that. She lacks motivation for the things she does except for the fact that it’s what she think she’s supposed to do. And that maybe by design but I would have appreciated more.

So bingeable. Tore through it in 3 days. Ending left me with some questions.

I hate the character and I know that’s the point but I hate it in a not enjoyable way, all of them where so fucked up and even tho the curiosity to understand what was going on keep me reading I didn’t like the explanation so naaaaaa .

I feel like there must be better ways to bring to the table the topic of the unhinged and fake modern “trad wife”
