I was going to give myself a day or two to really think about how I felt about this book, but the more I thought about it throughout the day the more certain I am about how I feel about it. From the way it started, I think I expected it to be a lot more reflective than it was or maybe it was but just not in a way that felt very impactful to me, if that makes sense. I suppose I felt that the way the story was told with Richard's POV and the perspective of years having past was obviously very intentional but don’t know if I liked what it did for the story. I also didn’t think the whole Greek thing and how that supposedly framed stuff for them really landed for me. Ultimately I think what my issues with this book comes down to is that I couldn’t help but compare it to If We Were Villains and I enjoyed that book a lot more than this one. The atmosphere, the vibes, of this book were great but the characters and even the plot just didn’t engage me and make me feel they way that If We Were Villains did. That may not be a fair review I know, but it is what it is.  I’m glad I read it, but I can’t say I really enjoyed it. It just really wasn’t for me.
