I can see the criticisms that this is about unlikable people doing pretentious, rich-kid, writerly things, but I was so drawn in from the very beginning and was dying to see how their stories would end up. I did want slightly more from the ending, but overall I found this really interesting and difficult to put down. Also, I thought the narrator for the audiobook did a fantastic job and really made the story come to life for me! I think I would have found this harder to get through if I was just reading the text.
