jayne, the protagonist, is so infuriating in her destructive energy but in a very realistic way. a well-written family with messy and complicated but also understandable/relatable family dynamics. i don’t think the characters are meant to be lovable or for readers to agree with (most) of their choices but i did appreciate the growth throughout the course of the book.
