"Fast and furious" I think not. I marked it as 'read' because I did read it but admit I skimmed most of it. Not my cup of tea.

3 generations of women in modern-day Syracuse. Good character studies. Aftermath of Trump election, and the soul-searching that went on. Enjoyable and engaging, ultimately it didn't add up to that much for me. I often kinda like the unresolved plot, existential realism thing, but I didn't feel there was that much left without that.

This book was engaging, but also a bit anxiety inducing, of which I am not super prone toward. Though a fairly accurate reflection of many people's general feelings during the time after the 2016 election. Sam wasn't a very likeable protagonist, mostly due to the fact that we were witness to every thought in her head. There was a lot going on in the story, not all of which got resolved, or seemed pertinent.
