At multiple points I became very frustrated with this story, but I kept on going because Alyson's character design and world building are extremely compelling.
The final arc was a beautifully handled goodbye to the characters that I'm sure each reader who made it through it came to care for greatly.
My only true gripe with 'Kimmy' is that in the warning it says 'this works contains topics related... sexual assault'. Which is true, but I would have appreciated a more clear warning of the explicit rape scene in chapter thirty.
That said, I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Kimmy'. Another piece of her work 'Sisters of Dorley Hall' is also an excellent read.
