Wow. 

The ending was great. Towards the middle (aka the twitter arc) it started getting boring, but overall it's left me with a whole lot of thoughts that I can't even begin to form coherently, much less translate into words. 

I loved how rfk shaped and gave attention to her villain. Not because I l liked June, I hated her, but because it contributed so much to the story. There were times when I was tired of hating every single word that came out of that woman's mouth but in hindsight rfk deciding to write a story from the villain's pov was the smartest choice.
