This novel was about a girl (Amelia) who was thought to have killed herself and her single mother (Kate), who is trying to find out the truth about her daughter's death.
Amelia goes to a private school that prepares children to enter Ivy League schools and within this school there is a gang that Amelia gets involved in only because she is attracted to a girl named Dylan. She ends up falling in love with Dylan whose best friend (Zadie) is the gang leader and hates Amelia. Amelia's best friend Sylvia is the only real friend that Amelia seems to have outside of a person named Ben who she has never met yet confides in through texting all the time.
This novel was hard and dark. There were no beautiful moments nor joy in it. I would not be excited about reading another Kimberly McCreight novel. There is nothing grammatically wrong that stood out to me or poorly written. I just didn't enjoy it personally very much, although I did enjoy it enough to read to the end.
6/10
