Did not expect all the nuance I read in this book. I didn't really like any of the main characters (Ames, Reese, Katrina,...) that much. They're all different levels of unlikeable.
I did enjoy all the conversations that were had in this book though, especially about queerness and specifically queer POC, however, none of the main characters identify as such so it felt lacking as well.
