The setup for this book was more interesting to me than those for Adiba Jaigirdar's previous contemporary novels that I read and enjoyed. Unfortunately, I just sort of got nothing out of this book. The characters were flat and underdeveloped, and the plot wasn't nearly as interesting/gripping as it should have been. Maybe the plot would have picked up more as the story progressed, but I just didn't CARE, and after looking at other reviews I don't think I'm going to end up caring any more than I currently do. 

Also, Violet is SO RACIST to Emilie and the book doesn't seem to want to acknowledge that that's the situation there? Very weird.
