Listening to this book, it’s very obvious when it was written. Very much a 2024 book. I think reading this 20/30 years later, it’ll hit differently because it writes so much about current events. I liked parts of the book. Other parts were predictable, and some parts just downright annoyed me. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Lainey character, and maybe that was the point? But I didn’t understand or even really appreciate the love connection that she made. It felt so very out of the blue. I wanted a little more in getting her into recovery, as well. It was an okay read, I kept listening because I wanted to know what was going to happen, but not my favorite read of the year so far. Much of the book felt rushed, like we needed things to happen. I dunno.
