i really liked this, maybe because none of the characters were loveable or “good”. I couldn’t put it down, and while ive never experienced this specific kind of sibling dynamic, it felt real. family is a weird trap we opt in and out of. 
edit: also a bit insufferable with that one conversation in the middle of the book about race, it barely scratches the surface of identity, but im sure it was cathartic for someone <3
