ksnizzle13's review against another edition
5.0
Although the content made it very difficult to read, it really was a beautifully written novel. This is my second time reading one of Jessica Knoll’s novels, the first being Bright Young Women, and I really have a better understanding of her as a writer, in a sense. Bright Young Women evoked powerful emotions of anger, sadness, heartbreak, and injustice - this was also my experience with this novel. I love reading stories with characters that really embody the complexities of being human - the good, the bad, the flaws, the versions we present to the world vs the ones we keep to ourselves. I really love her voice and how she opens up a window for the reader into a different perspective.
