Great premise and great execution! I was really surprised by how emotional this book made me, I was so connected to the MC and her struggles. Cara and her previous abusive relationship was so respectfully done. I know some people had some issues with the pacing, but I really enjoyed it. The first half is pretty fast paced, and the second half slows down a lot. It’s done purposefully and is well done in my opinion. I loved the diverse cast of characters, and seeing the same characters in different universes and situations. I really enjoyed watching the relationship between Cara and Dell evolve. There are so many good twists (some you can see coming, some not.) One complaint I have is something that happens at the very end…..I won’t spoil it, but basically it seems like there’s going to be a redemption for a character, and its very shoehorned in at the very end. There’s so much great commentary on this book, that I just didn’t really understand why the author threw that in when it can’t be developed at the very end. I loved the talk about class and race, and how some people are more likely to struggle in life due to circumstances out of their control.
