I thought I would like this book a lot more than I did. I liked coveys story and the way that it flipped between characters and plot lines was a little confusing but worked for the most part. Bennys story made no sense to me and I didn’t find her estrangement from her family necessarily believable. I found the last third of the book kinda cringey
