Incredible. It was such a satisfying and captivating read, I loved it. The writing was sharp and funny, the scenes were raunchy, poignant, evocative (and not just because it takes place in New York and I am always a little bit homesick). The characters! It feels trite to say they were multi-dimensional blah blah but these characters really felt like they were fully breathing individuals. Reading about them felt like I was reading their actual literal blog or twitter feed or whatever, as if they might post later this week and I'd be excited to see what they are up to next.
