Very compelling, full of twists. The narrative is shared between multiple characters, each with their own perspective, often directly in conflict with the perspectives of other characters. The book is told in past tense, and in multiple timelines overlapping between characters and chapters, but it was easy to follow. Even the “villain” has their own side, and they wrote it in their chapter as if it was fact. Very fun and special, the ways the queerness was written felt both gentle and absolutely bare naked exposed.
