Equal mix of realism and unlikely coincidences. There was only one part near the very end where it felt like “that wouldn’t happen.” Also prepare yourself for cameos & name drops of ALL her previous characters.
I love that the author is interested in mental health but the therapy speak is everywhere in this book. Again at the end this element gets much heavier.
Cw: if neglect or abandonment are hard for you to read there is a lot in this book with moderate description. One character has serious mental illness resulting in very impulsive behavior & harmful actions.
