I couldn’t really get into the physical copy when I tried reading it, so I ended up listening to it on audio. The writing was alright and the characters were somewhat interesting. Nothing really exciting about it. Just an average read for me.

This was an entertaining read. I admit that going in i had expected something more substantive, but i think the story was well executed for what it was trying to do. i veered between sympathy and disgust for the pov characters throughout the book and thought the message the author was trying to convey was well illustrated. It didn’t get as deep into some of the issues addressed in the book as i would have liked, and the way conflict resolved themselves was not as satisfying as i would have liked
