This book does a brilliant job at capturing human emotions, and really shows that people really can be quite flawed. I loved how it flitted between different characters’ perspectives, even within one chapter. It meant i really got a strong feel about how each character is thinking and feeling throughout. Even though most of the characters were lowkey terrible, i felt attached to all of them in some way, which just made me want to keep reading.
