Epistolary novels aren’t usually my jam, and this one was a bit overstuffed and tough to get through at times, but I still enjoyed it. Sam Greenwood is a fascinating character, revealed only through the side glances of people she encountered. And I loved the side talk between Charlotte and Femi about this close-knit, weird little community.
