I really liked the structure! I feel like the climax and ending were pretty rushed. Some character development made sense in a 24 hour period but others didn’t as much. Also, aside from the main character siblings, there were a lot of people to keep straight. I liked the little vignettes of other people’s experiences at the party, but everyone was too forgettable for me to keep track of who was who.
