I definitely cried, just wish it was a little faster paced. And some of the little subplots were unnecessary. Still enjoyed it overall

i really liked this, maybe because none of the characters were loveable or “good”. I couldn’t put it down, and while ive never experienced this specific kind of sibling dynamic, it felt real. family is a weird trap we opt in and out of. 
edit: also a bit insufferable with that one conversation in the middle of the book about race, it barely scratches the surface of identity, but im sure it was cathartic for someone <3

please read content warnings before u read this book!!

The novel really has a way of making you realize all of your own flaws by reading all the ways the characters fall short. How we all are victims to society and how we can be our own enemies sometimes. But in the end, it's okay. Because everyone on this earth does not match up to the expectations we make for ourselves. We are all shitty people in some way or form.

The writing style is just excellent. It really has a way of absorbing the reader into the story. And an amazing talent of making your sympathize with these flawed characters. (Except for some)
