found this very compelling but I don't think it felt satisfying. I was waiting for Kennedy's POV to feel more important which happened in a way I wasn't expecting and didn't fully justify itself. Good read, just enjoyed the first half more than the second. Really liked the atmosphere.

tense medium-paced

Reading this after just graduating college was both a funny and demoralizing experience. I have genuinely heard some of the exact phrases written in this book come out of my peers' mouths. And while some people didn't like it, I do think at certain points in the book, I paused in my reading and was like, this is actually absurd. But wasn't that also college? I don't know, I enjoyed it, I was invested in it, and now I want to read Reid's debut novel.

right so. this got insane LMAO had a great time tho! but i do think it is improperly marketed. theres not much actual meat to any themes on race and privilege outside of agatha and millie's relationship, to my understanding. still very good tho!
