I really think this would be most enjoyable if you go into the book completely blind. I knew too much to appreciate it at its fullest, but that is not the fault of the author. The first 40% was steady, if not slow, but the pace really picked up toward the end.

While it started off a little slow, getting to know the characters was so important to the overall plot. It felt like I was people watching through Sydney’s eyes. The spin the author took on real life issues such as gentrification and redlining was so unique and interesting!  The end of the book had me so invested and immersed. I never would have guessed the twists and turns!

Really enjoyed this one, hard to put down! The ending wrapped up a little quickly and incompletely for me, but overall very good.
