This is yet another book that wants to be a tv show. The writing has no fondness for the artform of the novel, it is simply written like a tv show that hasn't been funded yet. That is a style that will never be for me
Also there are a ton of characters that are just stereotypes personified which doesn't feel great. There's one guy who is an exact copy of Lafayette from True Blood, a flamboyant gay black man from the south who is never given any depth beyond that and whose only role is to play mammy/gbf to the more important woman of the story
