I’ve loved TJR’s previous books that I’ve read (Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones) but with this one it started to feel a bit like a fixed formula. In the first half I found Carrie so unlikable that I did not really care what happened to her, and I found the relationship between her and her father quite unhealthy and toxic as he kept pushing her to do better (think: I’m Glad my Mom Died). Mental health issues could have been dealt with more sensitively. I did like Bo and the storyline with him, and was happy to still see character development in the second half!
