OK but not my cup of tea. This isn't my first contemporary title of this type and I wonder if they're just not for me; I didn't connect with any of the others either. They were fine I guess; I just couldn't relate.

I overall enjoyed Mickeys world and could identify with her in many ways. I found the back half of the book - the Tee storyline in particular- a little drawn out. 3.5 stars.

I enjoyed this and appreciated the open ending. Reminded me of books like “Luster.”
