3.75
Lot of storylines weren't resolved, no real closure. A very simple ending for a book that delved into a lot of tough topics in the middle and nearing the end of the book.
That being said, it was a fun, fast read, I found the characters loveable and the setting enticing.
Edited rating from 3.25 to 3.75. Actually, this was a gripping, funny, chaotic, lesbian tale and I enjoyed it a lot, I just wouldn’t put a lot of weight and expectations for the treatment and resolution of the serious and heavy topics in here. It’s just a book about two fucked up lesbians!
