I really enjoyed this book because the characters felt very believable
 They were unique and flawed and I liked and disliked all of them for different reasons (except Moses). It was a bit all over the place and didn't quite stick the landing bringing it all together, but there were many beautiful and fascinating moments I'll definitely continue thinking about.

I think this is one of the best portrayals of a statutory rape situation I've ever read. The writer does an amazing job acknowledging the complicated feelings both people have, while consistently condemning it completely.

3.0

Blandine has big “main character energy” and by that I mean she really feels like the center of the world in this book. Her voice can be annoying as it is a little too self-involved. Maybe that’s not the right word. Bad things happen to her but her introspection is a little too…pretentious? Overall though, I thought this book was cleverly structured. Even though I was underwhelmed by the ending, I am definitely looking forward to reading more of Gunty’s stuff.
