You know those rare books that are both a 5 star and a 1 star read at the same time??? This is that because like thematically its so good! Like if you've seen the movie, you know!! But it's also a 1 star because most of the time its either slightly boring (a kind of boring that i do tend to like, but still, a lot of mundane stuff and a LOT of brand names) or HORRIFYING (which youd think would be a good thing for a horror thriller but after the 10th scene of torturing women in increasingly uh.......... creative? ways it just became so overwhelming) and like overall i don't think i could say i enjoyed the reading experience at all, even tho i'm glad i did give it a go
