Completely selfish and emotionally immature main character. You start waiting for some “good for her” level weird girl shit and end with rooting against her.

This was a well-crafted and thoughtful story. It takes some patience to get into, but every detail Hazell gives builds towards a riotous final act. I was gripped, and found myself hurtling towards the end. Thoroughly enjoyed.
