This is a tough one to review. The author throws everything at you that is on her mind and you have to deal with it. Some parts leave you breathless and others weirdly are a bit of a slog.

The writing is strong most of the time, but the story can't keep up with it. Too many side characters, whose stories don't get really elaborated and I could have really done without this totally uninteresting son of a celebrity mother.
 
I'm rating this a bit higher, because of the strong writing. The story gave me sadness and loneliness (which I'm totally here for), but apart from that, there wasn't enough meat to the bone for me.

At times, this book can feel like a bit of a slog to get through. The writing is pretty, but the pieces feel a bit too disconnected and figuring out how they fit together doesn’t always yield a totally satisfying conclusion. However, there are nuggets of painfully sincere and beautiful displays of vulnerability and humanity that are enjoyable. I’m sad to see I felt most fond of the adult characters and their inner lives over the central girl who is a teenager; her plight is not uninteresting nor unrelatable, but I just found I liked the other minor characters a little more.
