I found that the book was a good middle ground but not something I was obsessed over.
In the beginning I found it quite boring, since it had too much description of things for my taste and I nearly put it down. Only around chapter 8 I felt like it was going somewhere.
I know that the relationship between Lily and Kath is not the only focal point of the story but I still found it quite short. It didn't feel rushed but was missing.
Making it okay to continue reading but not a necessity born from curiosity about how the story would end.
That said I know I'm not the target group since I'm white so take everything with a grain of salt.
