this one was a rly cool concept that was not executed well at all imo. the main character had no identifiable personality traits & was just swept along by the narrative, which didn’t even make sense in most places + the pacing was really off. it also felt more written by a child than an adult, the writing was really immature and lacked nuance for pretty much everything. got halfway thru and wanted to try to finish bc of that but after a couple graphic n upsetting scenes that added almost nothing to the story beyond filling up space i didn’t want to read any more of this.

It’s a good book, especially if you like the contemporary style. I like the symmetry of the book. I personally found some of the character interactions a bit forced, mainly because this book is mainly character driven so I thought there would be more flow to the interactions. Overall it’s a quick easy read that makes you think about how you live your life.
