Solid read about a polyamorous and open relationship.

I enjoyed watching the character grow into an independent woman and so happy she found a relationship she was happy with. I connected and enjoyed reading the part about the life that was almost planned and expected for her versus how she lived it.

Frustratingly inconsistent in quality. Ridiculously porny (by which I don't just mean explicit, but the sex scenes are often contrived and unconvincing, and leave you asking "who's putting what where now?") Protagonist Violet makes terrible choices throughout, and I'm not sure I was rooting for a happy ending for her so much as just wanted to stay her kicking and screaming away from the awful, awful creeps she's got involved with.

It's like Sally Rooney read Bridget Jones and said hey what if she was in her late twenties, went through a bit more trauma, and actually got some every other day
