A deeply cynical book about how the world breaks and remakes us, and what we think we deserve as a result. A fun read but one that left me wanting something more. Definitely recommend checking trigger warnings if that's something you do.

I felt the beginning of the book was great and it hooked me from the first page, but it became boring toward the middle and end. It felt disjointed and sort of rushed near the end, and also very predictable. I felt the author could have added more details. The start was strong, but the end lacked.
