Fantastic. Great dialogue. A “nothing happens” book with a ton there. I could have read another 100 pages.

I was losing faith in this at 60-70% of the way through and then the last chapter really turned it around. Touching, odd, silly.

Too many characters to fully get to know or care about any one of them. Full chapters dedicated to characters that are on the outside of the friend group and don’t push the story forward at all. The ending was pointless and rushed. Sophomore slump!

The “unhinged woman” trope done very badly. For fans of Victorian era & the show “You.”

Stupid. Only got through it because it was so short.
