I have been sitting on writing this review because I have no idea how to begin. This book was very different compared to other books I have read. Kiley's prior book Such a Fun Age was one of my first books I read when I started reading again as an adult and I loved that one.

I think the biggest thing was I was waiting for something HUGE to happen. Yes things occurred and it was climatic but it wasn't that jaw dropping for me. I don't read many books that are primarily character driven and now I understand what that means because this book definitely was that. I can't really articulate what it was that was missing but just something to really give it that umph. Either way I couldn't stop reading because I wanted to see what was going to happen to the characters.

I definitely was interested in each of the interviewee's backstory and that to me was my favorite part. Especially after I got to Kennedy's story - man oh man did I verbally gasp when I got to a certain part (those who know, know). I was also very interested in Millie and Agatha's relationship and could've used more. The dynamics between all of the girls was so interesting and just thought it could've been explored more.

I paired this book with the audio and thought the narrator Nicole Lewis did a fantastic job with all the different voices for the characters.

The book itself was well written and I thought Reid did a great job with setting the scene and really describing the characters.

I will continue to read her work because of how well Reid writes and the complexity of her characters.

If you are a fan of literary fiction, character driven book, college setting and a cast of characters - check this out!
