I’m bummed there wasn’t more of Mick and June’s story! Without the party scenes that dragged on forever, the random sexual exploits, and the repetitive plotlines, I think I would have liked this book more. The first half was actually fairly engaging but I just didn’t feel emotionally attached to any of the characters (maybe bc there was like a hundred of them).
