Very Fleetwood Mac vibes.
I was a little hesitant due to the format (and tbh, I wasn’t super engaged for the first 30-ish pages), but once I found the rhythm, it flowed easily for me.
I really liked the female characters (they were fully rounded humans! hooray!) - their relationships and storylines felt genuinely touching and authentic. Specifically Karen and Camila were badass, and their relationship was completely heartwarming. The intimate look at addiction and trauma was also well done, I thought. Overall, I felt the power of the story came more from what was left unsaid, rather than what would’ve been a pretty predictable climax. One of my only complaints was that the ending felt a bit vague or rushed after such a rich build up, but overall I really liked it.
