This book was a super easy and interesting read. Not the most original storyline or characters, but I really enjoyed the attention to detail and the varying plot lines. I loved learning everyone’s histories and being shown what happened to the characters through to the end of their lives, it completed the story versus just keeping it to one vignette in time. Relatively accurate to the time it’s set in - ie: mostly white people, points of low tolerance for LGBTQ+, etc - but the author did a good job of dissecting those two issues within the context of the 20s (and beyond).
