First off, Narrator has a lovely voice and made voices and tones very clear.
TW: mild mention of death, mild mention of sex, mention of cheating, emotional manipulation
My first impression was that this was going to be an enemies to lovers, but it really wasn't.
Beware, the first 1/4 of the book is about Billie's relationship problems but mostly focused on her family. Although not in a info-dump way.
This family's problems and solutions center around emotional manipulation, which explains why the main character doesn't like confrontation and ends up creating unnecessary and dramatic problems to avoid others.
As a personal note, this book is an example of how not to safely use dating apps...
TW towards the end:
Mention of almost-incest. It's between step siblings who had never met before... And no one had a real problen with it ! Wtf?
