This Close to Okay by Leesa Cross-Smith
3.0

Was super curious why this book was SO polarizing. This book lets its characters be complicated and fucked up and absolutely unwell, resulting in their lying and doing some ethically dubious things. And I for one am a-okay with that because they’re humans. It wasn’t a favorite book but it was compelling, and gave me a glimpse into other world views. The religious bits were outside my typical read but again felt spot on for the characters, so very reasonable. Worth the read, I think.
