Conversations with Friends

I feel like this book is objectively good. Beautiful writing, realistic characters and dialogue. But I just didn't enjoy it. None of the characters are likable, and not in a fun way. In a way that just makes me feel sad and maybe a little icky. But the story is compelling, and I kept wanting to come back to it.
I don't know, this is a weird one.
I saw a review that simply said “I both hate and love this one” and that's about right.
