4.5
I really liked this book, stayed up multiple evenings to finish it even. I like following Lila and Elena’s friendship over so many years and reading about all the interpersonal dynamics (while having the character list to refer back to).
Moderate: Death, Domestic abuse, Physical abuse, Sexual assault, Suicidal thoughts, Toxic relationship, Grief, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
