I remember picking this up when it first came out, and putting it down probably not even two chapters in. This time I tried to really sit and take my time with this it, and I genuinely really enjoyed. Every single one of these characters is flawed and messy and so painfully human and getting to watch them go through life was fun, frustrating and so incredibly interesting all at the same time. Coco Mellors has this way of making New York feel like a character of its own, which I love. So glad I came back to it.
