Killing Time by Brenna Ehrlich
3.0

While I enjoyed the story overall, with how each element tied together and how every detail is relevant by the time we get to the end, the middle kind of dragged and Natalie was... Not a very compelling main character. I was much more interested in the "Then" sections where we're seeing Natalie's mom Helen in her first semester as a journalism major in college.

Natalie has very selective self-awareness, making jokes about her stupid decisions but not actually planning around them. Maybe that's just because of her age, but she never really makes up for those stupid decisions or takes steps to mitigate them.

I liked Katie a lot and wished she had more screentime. And I did like the ending.
