This book was very interesting. What started very oddly formed into a story that was clearly building. There were twists and turns I did not see coming and it was building well. The chaos point or climax of the story was also very good but after that it just felt like the book got to the end with a flat tire. There was resolution but it was uninspiring resolution.

found this very compelling but I don't think it felt satisfying. I was waiting for Kennedy's POV to feel more important which happened in a way I wasn't expecting and didn't fully justify itself. Good read, just enjoyed the first half more than the second. Really liked the atmosphere.

tense medium-paced

Reading this after just graduating college was both a funny and demoralizing experience. I have genuinely heard some of the exact phrases written in this book come out of my peers' mouths. And while some people didn't like it, I do think at certain points in the book, I paused in my reading and was like, this is actually absurd. But wasn't that also college? I don't know, I enjoyed it, I was invested in it, and now I want to read Reid's debut novel.

right so. this got insane LMAO had a great time tho! but i do think it is improperly marketed. theres not much actual meat to any themes on race and privilege outside of agatha and millie's relationship, to my understanding. still very good tho!
