This book flips from one MC's POV to the other's, but not distractingly so.
We begin with Rob, and his reaction to his father is callous and angry and raw, and made me blink several times. Was this the character I was supposed to root for?
Rob and Maegan are not perfect. Rob thought he was, but how are the mighty fallen. Maegan wants to be, but perfection is an illusion.
They're flawed, and trying so very, very hard to cope with the situations they find themselves in, situations they've created and that have been created by others. There's no escaping reality and this book delivers reality in spades. Our MCs don't always do and say the right things, get pushed into doing things they shouldn't and make bad, bad decisions, but don't we all? It just makes the whole mess more heart-wrenchingly familiar and I found myself on the edge of my seat wanting to pull them back from every stupid decision.
It isn't gilded; it isn't snowflake drama and it doesn't pull any punches.
I don't think I can read it again, but I'm glad it read it.
