ok i actually enjoyed this quite a bit but for a book that wanted to explore new family models and the psychology of those models, kevin really buckled down on traditional family values which i thought was a really weird decision. and everyone was so straight (almost homophobic?) and why does he have such a fixation on age gaps and power dynamic relationships for izzy? that being said, since he made the decision to have izzy date her teacher in high school, it’s consistent for the character to crave another kind of relationship like that (w age gap and power dynamic) later on - however, don’t love how they just kind of brushed it off at the end and were like “no it’s okay because they’re both kind of messed up and love each other!!” like a little cringe for me. still, great read - well written, nice pace, made me think about a lot of stuff.
