I think Kiley Reid's writing and characters are extremely sharp and insightful, and I enjoyed reading this. However, I agree with other reviewers that there are too many characters in this for the message to come across really clearly. While the interrogation of financial privilege on college campuses is really compelling and something I haven't seen discussed in fiction too much, I think this misses in taking an almost satirical direction with some of it's characters and plot points.  This really creates an ending that feels almost confused and incomplete, which is a shame.
