nice book that captured the complex feelings between siblings well but personally felt a bit slow at points for me and suddenly picked up toward the end. also found the plot twist quite flawed and unrealistic. imo siblings would not get with their siblings’ sexual partners but maybe im narrow minded. it also just felt all too convenient that everything evened out and they both did the same to each other. overall still enjoyed the different character dynamics and complexities!

ahh :( i think i was going to be disappointed by this no matter what- ‘love and virtue’ was SO good that it would be damn near impossible to improve upon it, however i truly was disappointed by this.
diana reid is so brilliant and intelligent and talented- i’ve had the absolute pleasure of talking to her about her first novel and she’s just as likeable and witty as you would expect. it seems to me, however, that her second book was written to a specific audience, one that prefers a watered-down sally rooney, one that doesn’t want to think too much about what they’re reading.
(one of) the main reasons i loved ‘love and virtue’ so much was because it was so clever, so subtle. ‘seeing other people’ was less so.
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, i don’t want to read the word “tiktok” in a novel. i don’t want it discussed. analysed, briefly mentioned, or hinted at. pretend it doesn’t exist!!!!!! please!!!!!!!!!!!!
that being said, i didn’t not enjoy this book. it’s a fun, simple read with a neat conclusion, and that’s all there really is to say
