Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
It was pretty decent but just a standard summer read. I did love the allusions to St. Louis, the author did a masters in creative writing at WashU so that’s fun. A few missing pieces like the car situation? Also would have liked what happened with Lila/Jim and Phoebe/Gary to be flushed out a bit more. Hated that her husband stalked her back to the hotel and also that he was just like I’m here now. But yeah I liked it, thought the author did a good job writing about Phoebes mental health and not making tile a dramatic thing or unrealistic things leading up to her suicide attempt. But overall I thought it was just a decent beach-read style book
