3.5 stars rounded up. This book made me feel so unsettled I don’t know if I loved it or hated it any maybe that’s the point. Neef is hard to like at almost every turn but I found myself continually rooting for her to get it together. Danny, while slightly less developed was a super interesting character and I wish I got more of his inner thoughts. This book is gritty and sad and made my heart pretty heavy. Overall I think this is a pretty great debut novel.
I wish the ending closed the loop all together and I realllllly wish quotations were used for speaking parts as it could be hard to follow at times.
Thank you to the publisher for the gifted arc
