I read this with a couple of friends and it really isn't my usual genre. It was a little soapy with long lost relatives appearing, affairs and infidelity, traumatic mental illness, and ridiculous names, but it was entertaining, considering how fast I binged it. Both Luck and Sagan also turned into after school specials at some points, which took me out of the narrative a bit. Not sure if I'd go back for more of Hoover.
Graphic: Suicide attempt
Moderate: Mental illness
Minor: Sexual content
