I really enjoyed this book. The premise was interesting to me, but I wasn't sure if I'd like it--I felt like it would be easy to keep things surface-level, light, not to get too real or complicated about it. I'm really glad though that this book definitely gets into things in the way I was hoping it would.
It's super character-driven, in a great way. It makes you feel for the characters even if they make bad decisions, without excusing their behavior. I think this is super well-written and I'd love to read more from the author in the future.
Thank you to Netgalley and Random House for the chance to read and review this ARC.
