The book took a turn a little over halfway through, and the narrative moved to a new location and introduced a bunch of new characters—it was a little jarring, and I didn't find Libertie's relationships with these new characters as compelling as her relationship with her mom. And I couldn't get behind the love story. It was too sudden and Libertie's exact motivations were unclear.
That being said, I did like Libertie's overall character arc and development, but I just wanted more from some of the other characters. The plot was slow moving so I would have liked to be invested in more of the characters. I wanted the novel to be one thing, and it ended up being several things, which is definitely my own fault, so you should give this one a chance if the summary interests you! It's very well-written.
Thank you to Libro.fm, Recorded Books, and the author for my ALC.
