I loved the character development, the drama, the setting, etc. Found some parts to be slow. But overall good read!

This one is such a page turner. It’s a story about dysfunctional, broken and very human people. Every chapter endearingly ends on a bittersweet notes. The writing is clever and there are a lot of good throwbacks to previous scenes and dialogues.
