Laughed more than I thought I was going to–Lillian's voice and Wilson's writing were really great, especially in small parts in otherwise neutral descriptions or corners of the writing. Speaking of, wow, I wanted to throttle Lillian in the beginning and then was rooting for her by the end. The “I was fucked over and I'm not going to let that happen to these snots” journey won me over in a major way.

And good on Wilson–I didn't think he would actually bring the unrequited/unresolved romantic tension with Lillian and Madison anywhere. Of course it doesn't, like, HEA or anything, but at least giving it air made me cheer in a wretched gay way, lmao.

Thought a lot about lies and stories we can tell ourselves for decades after this one. Hmm!
