I am 'books where nothing happens' #1 fan. Tell me your backstory beautifully and then go home ♡

I didn't have as hard a time distinguishing the different POVs as other reviewers mention, but I do see how it would be difficult Especially as an audiobook. I do think it suffered a bit for having to give all of them a bow on their stories at the same time at the end, but I enjoyed it nonetheless

I could not follow along with all the moving characters and pov. I kept confusing all of my characters amd it just was too much for me, I was really looking forward to this book
