I don't know.... like.. 

Did I hate mostly every character in this book? Yea.
Was the story somewhat confusing? Yea.
Did I keep reading because I was kinda intrigued? Also yes. 

So like... I didn't HATE it but I forsure didn't like it lol 

2.5 stars? (I have no idea. I'm about to trust nothing I say about this book.) I wouldn't reread it so I'm going with that. 

There was a lot of drama for the sake of drama in this book that I didn't care for.
i.e. Like the friendship of Ruth and Mickey.. where she introduced a 14 yr old Mickey to cutting and alcohol? Trigger warning please because that was aggressive. The gross implication of Silas kind of being a creep on Ruth. VOMIT. Lily cheating and Silas cheating. Ugh. I can't with cheating. Like no character  is redeemable to me for cheating. That's a hard pass.
 

The characters... lord. Lily is unlikable and unrelatable to me. She's the pretty girl who was a bitch to the not popular girl and got the guy she liked but didn't get all the affection she wanted. Like sorry, I don't feel bad for your spoiled ass. Silas is gross. He thinks he's cool and a good person but really he's just shallow and also unlikable. The kids are fine I guess. Cal is.... unreliable? So like didn't care for her. Peyote is selfish. Everyone is too interconnected and I hate it.

I don't know what else to say. It was a book. I finished it. The end.
