I mean this was basically no plot, low vibes.
It’s like the author didn’t really know what they wanted this story to be. There was an avenue to explore grief that was a path not ventured, a pretty solid sibling relationship that wasn’t really based on anything concrete which made it seem less genuine than it appeared, and a romance that was just serviceable mostly because the lead character was a bit of a mess.
It wasn’t unreadable though. I didn’t even really hate what I was reading, I just didn’t really see the point.
I’m still open to reading from Alicia Thompson, and this just wasn’t for me.
