Honestly, I just couldn't get into this novel. It just seemed like a group of friends where everyone wanted to sleep with everyone else but their societal rules and personal hangups prevented it. Yes there is some discussion of class, race and social privileges but it comes from such a white male POV that it's dry. For example, Nat is a Korean adoptee of the family. One of her main defining characteristics is that she loves BTS and her white parents are bewildered. Her mom, Masha, is angry when she starts to learn Korean. Overall, I felt disconnected from the story.
