I thought about dnf’ing this book but I’ve been told to stick with it and that it’s a classic literary fiction. By the end, I felt very invested in these characters. And I could relate to the bad choices we make, sometimes without any thought and they shape our lives and others forever. I’m looking forward to the sequel, Long Island.
