What a great novel, that’s so multi-layered and rich with backstories for each of the main characters and which helps you understand why they ended up the way they did and what lead them to those decisions. It’s a story led by strong women characters who you might not always agree with their choices, but you understand why they made them.

I had a really hard time getting into this book. I read the first couple of pages several times and could not understand what the author was introducing. I would not have had the same character map in my mind had I not gone ahead and watched the show at the same time!

I read this for my English class and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The story is complex and at times difficult to follow, but overall this is a good story to get you thinking. I love seeing the different points of view and getting caught up in the drama of it is exilerating.

The book doesn't have a happy ending it is merely a content ending. With Mrs. Richardson finally understanding that her perfect bubble has popped, leaving Izzy out on her own.

i hate this book, i read it for book club and it was such a slow and bothersome read. the characters are introduced as stereotypes which was already annoying but i thought maybe that the author was trying to make a point about how the town is obsessed with the law and following rules, NO

ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE JUST ANNOYING TROPES THAT DONT GET BETTER!!

the author tries to write character development but half of the characters (trip, izzy, moody, etc) don’t really matter in the book and are tied to important characters like mia or mrs richardson but they don’t change or are only used to progress others.

i didn’t enjoy the personalities of the characters or the plot of the book, it was very bland even when the baby trial was happening. the best part of the book was mia’s childhood, but other than that i found it somewhat boring to read.
