It took me a minute to get into this book. I even thought of giving up on it, but in the end, I really liked it. The story is about a teenage girl, Honor, who grew up in a reality show family, the Los. She's got a twin, Atticus, a sister Skye, who is close to their age, and two older siblings, whose names I forget.
The rest of the kids, and their separated parents are all Personalities, like they're still doing the reality thing even though the show ended years ago. Even though Honor isn't an influencer or anything, her family comes first. She previously had friends, but it turns out one of her besties--she doesn't know which one--gave a painful story to People magazine. After Skye gets sick, the family rallies around her, at college in Texas, and no one is more impacted than Honor. Until she learns something awful that makes her have to make an awful choice.

"We're suck small specks in the universe. A hundred years from now it'll be like we never dated."
I think thoughts like that all the time. This moment is so intense, but it's also...such a speck.
