soooooo underwhelming. we never get any insight whatsoever into alex’s past or how she ended up in this mess. she keeps making the worst decisions possible. the whole thing felt completely hollow and i didn’t care what happened to any of the characters at all. sometimes the writing was good in terms of flow and composition but that’s about it
