I liked this! I got a bit tired of all the philosophizing about marriage and monogamy after a while, but I enjoyed the characters. It's weird how Lily's sleeping around is presented as a big issue, but not her drinking or doing drugs. I mean, by the other characters or the text itself. It was also interesting to me that these people just always had cocaine. Like, you could just ask for some and someone would produce it. I don't think I have any friends like that. Anyway, fun read! I did not foresee the twist with Will!
