This was a bit confusing - it felt like there were concepts that weren’t fully developed, and a lot of unbelievable personalities? I liked Bad Summer People and this felt like a rushed follow up.

This. Was. A. Slog. I actually just read the dialogue for the last 1/4 of the book because of how bad the writing was. These characters were supposed to be in their late 20’s but I would have guessed they were in high school based on their actions and selfishness? Ugh.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.
Pretty bland and one dimensional characters.
