I always make notes when I'm reading a book so that I can remember them after I've finished. Sometimes a book can trick you into liking it by having a decent resolution at the end. This book tried. I checked my notes and they read as follows: Slow start, slow middle, pretty man-hating, ok self aware man-hating, predictable plot, and good resolution. This book was kind of grating. The self importance of the main character and her superior attitude towards every male character was over-the-top. I consider myself a feminist and the flagrant portrayals in this book and the complete lack of subtlety was a poor choice. Every male character was unlikable and most of them displayed toxic masculinity as their only trait. That doesn't make me as a reader want her to end up with any of them. Also, for it being a book about an author writing a novel, there were some pretty annoying spelling and grammatical choices/errors. The be frank, I didn't like it. Two stars just for the resolution.
