I enjoyed this book and its explorations of queerness and pregnancy. I felt for the characters a lot. Two qualms - young Carey didn’t feel real, he was too chaotic and serious at the same time and that threw me off a bit, and also that I expected a bit more drama honestly? I thought something bigger was gonna happen. But I did really enjoy it, although not as much as I did Scenes of a Graphic Nature

DID NOT FINISH: 68%
If I wasn't reading this for book club I would've quit it way earlier, but after
she asked the Byrnes for money for her abortion
I had to jump ship. I disliked every major character in this book. A lot of people love it, and I don't get it, but this book is not for me.
