I don't really know how to feel about this book. There are really interesting points of character exploration with Sasha at times and some interesting asides about WLW culture and relationships and love. Those are the strongest parts. But so much of the book is dragged down in obvious sociological observation. One more than one occasion the book practically stops altogether to reiterate a point that it doesn't think you picked up on the first time. It really broke the tension of the build up, so when the climax happens, it kind of just...happens. It was close to something great, but I think it just missed the mark for me.
