I mean, I finished it. It's not a bad way to kill time. I kept reading because I wanted closure, though that speaks to my compulsive need to know as much as it speaks to Swanson's writing. The voice was flat across character POVs. There's a layer of "men writing women"-style misogyny over everything that didn't feel like a deliberate feature; it was just distracting. The ending was abrupt and felt inconsistent with the rest of the story. Feels kind of flimsy, overall.
