I liked this book... a lot? I think? It is well-written (as Megan Abbott books usually are), but I think where the deficit of stars comes in for me is that I want lovable characters. Kit is the narrator throughout the book, and I don't really care for her that much. I was fascinated with and cared about Diane, but I guess that doesn't make me any different than most people who knew Kit and Diane in the book lol
