i read this on a really long flight, so boredom might have been a factor, but this book mostly just glided along until the end. i like expository detail and i’m not picky about needing the plot to be purposeful at all times, so i didn’t mind that the book sort of drifted towards the end. the pov was a little tricky to wrap your head around, but i stayed interested enough to finish it. i will say, the last page made me go :O and i did not see it coming at all so for that i think it’s worth the read.

I enjoyed most of this book, but I found the ending to be extremely underwhelming. It was guessable (which I didn’t particularly mind) but some of the ominous foreshadowing doesn’t help with the actual end. It’s too bad. Nonetheless I was entertained and interested throughout.

I was very surprised by this one! Two men talking for the whole book?? Not my thing, generally. But the questions and themes brought up here were really compelling and fun to think about. What is art, what do we owe in being alive, what would you do if given a second chance? The entirety of the story being told via a conversation was kind of clunky but then brings in a whole new layer of complexity to the story; what are the stories we tell ourselves and what are the stories we tell others. The “twist” was a bit cliche but I still enjoyed how it was written. It was a short punch of a read (that probably could have been even shorter) that is perfect to sit down with in one sitting.
