I’ve never read any book like this. The concept is fascinating and leaves much to be explored. The only thing keeping me from a 5 star review is that it’s disturbing. Pretty much every content warning you can think of is in here.

I knew that this book was going to be "weird" going in but what I didn't anticipate was how flipping boring it was going to be. I'm so bummed about becoming so disinterested in it but that's just how it goes sometimes. I also think that just because something is "weird" doesn't mean it can't be entertaining or still be sensible in some way. There was no coherence in this story for me and it was vastly uninteresting.
