So I am reading this book for school. When I went on an MBTI database, I saw a comment for the main character’s profile saying something like, “I haven’t hated a character so much in a long time”. When I looked, I saw a lot of positive reviews on the book and Daunis, as well as NEGATIVE. Many people have criticized the writing, calling Daunis misogynistic, a pick-me, etc.

Basically, from my understanding, she kinda wants to be one of the “guys”, is a tomboy, likes hockey, criticizes other girls, specifically the girlfriends of the hockey guys as being “anglerfish” that just leech onto them. She also is 'different" in the way that she does things like recite the scientific names for things and recite the periodic table to help her sleep.

One thing I didn’t like, though I do like how she’s a strong woman lead who deeply cares for others, though I do understand why, is her on-and-off behavior towards the love interest, Jamie. She sees Jamie as a liar, which is kind of true, but he does it to protect people, and she switches between being head-over-heels for him and being angry at him.
