Not typically a fan of literary fiction, but I couldn’t put this book down. It reminded me of White Lotus Season 2 and was (in my opinion) really similar to I Have Some Questions For You. I loved the diversity of characters, and there was so much I loved the characters’ internal struggles of whiteness, class, guilt, obsession, loss, forgiveness, acceptance, and numbness.
