In my opinion, this book was a slow burn filled with a lot of nothing. To me the reason why Ashland was soo closed off & addicted to drugs & alcohol wasn’t really explained enough. It was like a reason was given but not explained because other ppl have gone through what he went through & didn’t take the path he took soo what exactly drove him to the drugs & alcohol. Also the way he pushed Kenya away repeatedly was exhausting & then after the breakup she was the one that went to him & started the reconciliation 🙄
