Listen, my expectations for Dermansky are high! She’s one of my favorite writers. My one gripe is her books are usually too short. This one didn’t help. I thought we could have explored so much more here! The bones of the story were good even if all of the characters were unlikable, but it felt rushed, and therefore I feel duped.
