I don’t really hate MC’s father - he was just so realistically portrayed with both strengths and flaws that he seemed to be modelled after someone the author knew. Too real and familiar. He certainly deserved a good tr*shing for hurting his wife, but he has to be the character with the most development in the entire novel.

I felt like the novel was trying to make me like him despite his sh*t self but I couldn't. Like, the little moments in there where it tried to show his familiar love didn't validate or really help me look past how much of a scum bag he is.

What the f*ck was even the last chapter on him?? I didn't understand what I was reading (probably cause I mtled it but still) This summary of his life just made me even more dissatisfied with him. The way he treated his kids, how he cheated multiple times on his wife and how he just vented his anger on everyone else made me dispise him. Ugh the injustice all the women in his family went through kills me. What was the point of that extra? I'd rather hear about any of the other siblings instead
