Messy bitches all round.
Exceptionally well-written, until the ending where it felt like the brakes were slammed; it faltered then just kind of stopped, and not in a satisfyingly unsatisfying way. Still, I liked it a lot.

Did not expect all the nuance I read in this book. I didn't really like any of the main characters (Ames, Reese, Katrina,...) that much. They're all different levels of unlikeable.

I did enjoy all the conversations that were had in this book though, especially about queerness and specifically queer POC, however, none of the main characters identify as such so it felt lacking as well.

There were some technical flaws (mainly in the writing) but this totally absorbed me in a way a book hasn’t in a long time and I feel like I am going to be thinking about these characters for a LONG time.
