Alice Sadie Celine

This book read like a Greek tragedy. It was all just so very depressing and sucked the life out of me. I kept pushing on because I needed to hope something positive would happen. I saw all the hype on Instagram (for anyone that says it's sexy, hypnotic, complex, an obsession- it's not)- etc., and I just don't get it. The writing itself was very surface level. These are a trio of sad women, but you don't get much more depth. I was excited to have a lesbian main character... but the portrayal of lesbians in this story follows the trend of us just being miserable and cold. So that turned me off. My instant thoughts when getting to know the characters a bit more was, ‘this again?”

The story was short, so I'm glad I didn't waste too much time. But it was a good reminder that the hype and description of a novel can be wayyyyyy off.

2.5 stars.
