I was excited to read this book because it's from Roxane Gay's press. The representation and thoughtful approach to relationships and difficult decisions to be made in a capitalist, racist, sexist, homophobic, and ableist world were insightful. However, I felt like the book wasn't fully plot or character driven. It was slow for me and didn't feel super interesting until like the last few chapters. I also didn't feel like I believed the romance between the characters. I wish it was more compelling!
