Interesting concept, but a little too out there and unrealistic for me. The polyamory felt forced and not authentic (but there was some growth on that at the end that I liked). This also takes place at the height of COVID in 2020 and there are a LOT of covid references and phrases and stuff and that got old pretty quick. If you don’t want to read a book set in the pandemic definitely skip this one
