Lovely writing, and an interesting plot. How self-aware, reflective, and verbal every character was took me out of it - they all knew exactly what they were doing and why, and were able to articulate insecurities and motives to an extent that felt unrealistic. There was also quite a bit of dissecting each character’s behavior through the eyes of the others that felt a bit exhaustive.
