The writing was overwrought and the narration even more so, making it almost laughable when it should not have been. The characters were clichéd stereotypes with no real depth. The conversations the Preacher had with Rachel were super cringey and the fact that she kept saying that the guy respected her was maybe one of the most cringey things of all. Dude sounded like he’d read a terrible book about Negging from a rapey pick up artist and she could t see through that? She knows the serial killer who killed her parents is after her and she hands out with a stranger? There’s so much wrong here.
And the way women characters are written makes me wonder if Eric Rickstad has ever spoken to women before. Yikes.
I gave it two starts because I liked the ending, but the journey to the ending was not enjoyable.
