This is going to be a very short review. I really did want to like this one. The blurb sounded really really interesting. It just failed to deliver what it promised.
First the good. The story explores some decent ground in relation to the way mental health can warp your perspective and responses to people and the world generally.
The relationships are blurred but it's refreshingly honest as a representation of what real people's connections are like. They ebb, flow, fade, resurge, implode, expand.
Now for the bad. This book is terribly mediocre. I mean, painfully so.
It's about a bunch of rich people who bump into each other and prompt a flickering newness that is presented like a magic spell that reinvigorates the depressed character. Somewhat anyway. It's not a very powerful spell.
I found myself annoyed by the privilege. Bored by the lack of real character development. Then unsatisfied by the ending.
If this is on your TBR pile. I'd swerve it until you find yourself with absolutely nothing else to read.

The concept of this novel was better than the execution. There were some beautiful poetic lines but I didn't feel connected enough to the characters to really feel moved by the story and the plot felt untethered.
