2.5

With 4+ POVs, and ridiculously short chapters, this book is hard to really get into.  The world building is borderline non-existent, and although the book attempts to delve in to many serious themes and discussions (feminism, dementia in a loved one, sexual assault, and familial expectations to name a few), it accomplishes very little, ultimately feeling like it was written by a middle-schooler in terms of depth and comprehension of these issues.
