There were some beautiful moments and some interesting chunks of writing that kept me going. Also this book sent me down a rabbit hole of research about the author. I couldn’t help but connect his story to the main character. All this kept me reading through the bad dialogue, blatant misogyny, and bad political takes. This wasn’t an enjoyable read for me but it was an interesting experience.
