The first half of this novel was much stronger than the second; the almost meandering, vignette-ish chapters of the beginning were so appealing and diary-like that I totally fell into them. They were a great mix of childhood dramas and changing lives and all sorts of interesting moments. However, once a more typical plot develops I felt like the writing changed and slowed a little too much. I also begin to lowkey despise hearing about all the idiotic men running around doing idiotic things. That being said, I’ve become pretty invested in the two main characters and I definitely plan to read at least the next book in the series.
