sadly, the end is a bit flat

I loved this book!

The pacing was great and it really succeeded in the balance of day-to-day life and plot-driving moments. 

Elizabeth is such a great character - she seems neurodivergent-coded to me and I love her. Six thirty, BEST boy.

I also love the idea of women supporting women and how complex that can be - there isn't always a simple answer.

I am quite happy to suspend belief for a story as long as it isn't ridiculous, so things that other people say are 'soap opera esque' don't bother me too much. I also kept forgetting it wasn't set in modern day in a super conservative area, which, yikes.

I don't disagree that Elizabeth has a load of privilege being white, straight, and 'pretty', but I think this book already covered a lot and the subtle mentions of this were pretty than risking awkward, heavy-handed, bad content.
