I really wanted to like this book because I had enjoyed Julia Phillips debut novel, Disappearing Earth.
But I just couldn't get into the story. Sam was such an unlikable and immature character and I felt like you really didn't get to know Elena. It may have been a better story if you could have understood the sister's relationship from both their perspectives. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC.

3.5 stars. I loved this book, I hated this book. The ending made me so mad, which made me hate and love the book equally. It doesn't have to make sense, it is a very complicated book.

Not sure how I feel about what I read, but I am looking forward to a spoiler discussion that Sarah's bookshelves live podcast will be doing.
