I really enjoyed this! I honestly had no clue what this was about when I picked it up, I just heard good things about it. Also that people compare it to Evelyn Hugo(which yes. It’s the same sort of plot. 

I just loved seeing Vivian come into her own and her found family. Vivian was honestly so iconic and funny. The commentary on women and sexuality was also done well in my opinion. Honestly the plot doesn’t happen I feel like till 200 pages, but I didn’t mind because I was so invested in the characters.
