The premise of this book sounded interesting, and I feel like when I describe parts of the book it does sound interesting, but it's written in a sort of removed way where everything feels like a summary of a past event. A lot of the characters either weren't likable or were hard to get a read on in general, especially what their motivations were for doing things. I felt like I was dragging my way through it the entire time and got nothing out of the experience.
Moderate: Classism
Minor: Cursing, Sexual content
