Tapped out after 125 pages in which absolutely nothing of any interest happened. There are whiffs on the air like sewage of tensions between moneyed and not, plausibly between school and townies. Some sense that the main character is--for whatever reason/s--not up for graduate school, now or maybe ever. Definitely people acting of their own free will against their better interests. This is the second very bad novel I've seen Harrow blurb, it's time to start ignoring her on that score.
