I really didnt like this one. It was a quick read so I cant complain too much but so much about it irritated me. The main characters were cringey and flawed in a way that didn't seem believable.

I enjoyed this, but it read to me more as a screenplay for a TV show. And I would inevitably be disappointed when the next episode was Zoe focused. In general, though, I would for sure watch this show, and I think it would be exactly what a network like HBO wants--with drugs, sex, dramatic people, etc. But does that just make it like so many others? Maybe.
