I enjoyed the thought-provoking exploration of her friendship with Laura and I thought the way Laura changed over the years (especially after she found out that Charlie is a lesbian) was very realistic to real life. The critique of casual homophobia was very validating and the way the mystery unraveled kept me hooked. The final chapter was melancholic (as expected) and yet also hopeful for a brighter future, and I thought the author struck a really good balance between the two emotions.

definitely the best written book ive read by her, however the pacing of the plot just did not hit the spot and it got to the point where i just wasnt rooting for anyone and didnt care at all, everyones very unlikable and i feel like the whole conspiracy plot could have been a lot more interesting

i’m glad in the end you actually find out what happened but i feel as though there were a lot of things just left open and maybe that was the point but idk
i’m glad it got a happy ending but it doesn’t mention certain characters that id have liked to know abou
