So much of this book is about absolutely nothing, and its major themes are all introduced fairly early on but for the most part aren't touched on again or resolved. It's about race a little bit. It's about money a little bit. It's primarily about power and privilege but even this takes a back seat to the mostly unimportant chapters detailing the lives of the characters before the present-day events of the book and the "deal" alluded to in the synopsis. All of these details are wholly irrelevant. We didn't need to read about Agatha's life in Chicago and her failed relationship. We didn't need to read about Millie's gap year in Missouri. And we most certainly did not need to read multiple chapters consisting of Kennedy feeling sorry for herself and pissing off her suitemate by not doing her dishes. Like come on.

This book could have been HALF the length and still would have been too long. It seems like the author had multiple different ideas for what this book could be and ended up combining them all into a single manuscript that, for whatever reason, snuck its way past her editors and went to print. I think this book showed a lot of promise but ultimately was wayyyyy of its mark.

This one was good. I love Kiley Reid’s writing. Millie is absolutely loveable and Agatha too. I wish there had been a bit more depth or dialogue between the two though, it just didn’t go as deep as I wanted it to. The regret I felt for Agatha’s actions at the end was palpable so clearly I was caught up. I’m not sure I’d agree that the way she handled things is realistic but it did make me feel some type of way. Robin was appropriately cringy and detestable (love:hate her). I didn’t love this one as much as Kiley’s last book but that will be difficult to top
