I usually hate multiple points of views, but in this case it works well. Just when one person's life and point of view starts to swallow you whole and drown you, you get a miniature reprieve by jumping to another. 

This book was pretty dark, and while comparing it to Gossip Girl is apt in some ways, I would argue it's much heavier and darker. Pay attention to the content warnings.
