Honestly a pretty intriguing read in the first half. Second half just became emotionally draining, but I did like that it revisited some details I thought I'd missed in the first half/events that went by so fast it gave me whiplash.
I'm a bigger fan of unlikable characters than I used to be but damn, these folks were really pushing it! I would have been fine with how this though if the ending hadn't gone the way it did - felt too sweet and unearned
