I liked McBride’s writing and was really enjoying the book but everything went downhill for me after Chona
got raped and died.
Like i know that’s kind of the inciting incident but I wanted to know more about her!! Likewise I liked the vignettes at some point it just felt like there were too many characters and too much going on while also being BORING because there’s so much happening besides the main storyline with Moshe & Nate & Addie & Dodo. Idk was just underwhelmed, the book felt disjointed and like I kept waiting for it to come together in a satisfying way but it never did :(
