The Smart One by Jennifer Close

4.0

I love Jennifer Close’s writing. Her characters are complex and flawed, sometimes frustratingly annoying, but they feel real - like you really know them inside and out. It was entertaining to be inside their heads, as each chapter rotates perspectives, and try to understand their thoughts and actions.

The storylines are a bit depressing and it felt like a train wreck at times, but I enjoyed being a fly on the wall and witnessing these characters’ stories play out on their own and together with one another.
