This was good! I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and the family dynamics. I did not really like when we would just follow random people because I really didn’t know who they were. I also wish Kits sexuality was talked about a little more and with her family. The reason this is a 3.75 and not a full four is because of all the cheating like I just hate reading about cheating and everyone was a cheater I can’t. I loved the sibling relationships and I just loved Nina and how strong and selfless she was. This was pretty funny at times as well which I enjoyed.
