I'm not sure if I really liked this, but I like having read it, if that makes sense. Cassandra narrates most of the book (the short middle section is narrated by her twin, Judith) and she's so hard to be in the head of. It's all so claustrophobic and uncomfortable, but everyone is so interesting but difficult. They're so insular and so it's hard to read about. Judith's section, while difficult because of Cassandra's actions, was so much easier to read, but I think a whole book from her side wouldn't have worked as well. Anyhoo, that's rambly. I'm glad I read this but it wasn't always an easy read, but very worth it in the end.
