This is a hard, really engrossing read. seems like after the halfway point, the book will be mostly aftermath, which is such a smart choice. I could be wrong, of course. Sense of time and cultural moment is really tangible in the setting, and I think the author is deft w/ it (pop culture referenced SO EASILY become heavy-handed. Vanessa’s relationship with her mom is AHHHHH. 9/11 as the cleave point… also AHHHH
