The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud
Did not finish book. Stopped at 62%.

I skipped ahead to the betrayal and realized that I didn't care at all. the characters were far to boring for me to harbor any kind of longing to read their story, if you're going to write intentionally unlikable characters then at least make them unlikable enough to keep me interested

I don't even blame Ivypaw for that battle, I blame the fact that anyone can just say they had a dream and everybody's like "yeah, let's go battle about it" how about maybe let's go think about it for two seconds
