Perhaps it's because this is such a heavily character driven book, but I found this one difficult to really get in to. The writing isn't bad per se, I just found myself getting bored with the lack of plot line and the characters for me were underwhelming and forgettable. I don't know if this is just a "me thing" with my preference for a well developed plot, so I am rounding up from my original 2.5 star rating.
I listened to the audiobook and found the narration to be pleasant even though the story itself wasn't engaging for me.
Many thanks to the Libro.fm Librarian ALC program, Penguin Audio, and the author for this complimentary Audiobook Listening Copy.

I work with college students and the dialogue was SO good. Such a well written book. However, although understandable, Agatha's every action made me so frustrated.
This is an odd book, a little disturbing really in that way that’s quite real, like these flawed characters definitely exist in real life and the pace at which we’re following their stories is very believable (ie. quite slow at times). I really had to push through to finish this as I had no idea what the story was about or where it was going most of the time, and to be honest the ending feels adrift as well, but by the last few chapters curiosity did get the better of me and I did want to find out what happened to each character.
Ninety-eight percent of the characters are women and damn, we are really not great to each other some times!! 😅
