Well that was entertaining. Telling this story through twins was a good choice. The ending, as well as the whole story, is realistic.

i just had way too high of expectations. maybe i'll like it more with a reread. I'm going to confine myself to only reading shitty but entertaining books to get myself out of this slump

AMAZING novel! The number of storylines that Bennett tells so smoothly in this novel is mindblowing! All very well-developed, engaging, and memorable!
