The pacing of this novel was off to me. It felt like either needed to be longer to let all 3 POVs breathe evenly or drop one of the POVs. As it is, I have enjoyed, other novels that explored similar themes, more.

I love when a story spends time just flashing neon lights at a specific character, shouting “this is the heart of the story, not the MC”.
