What an interesting book! The construction was creative and the themes were so complex I already know I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. Each character was compelling and each “part” was so strong, especially in concert with one another. The audiobook performance was also quite good, so this was overall just a fabulous experience, highly recommend!

Life’s too short to read books I’m not enjoying. ✌️ Been thinking about dnf-ing this one for a while and I finally had enough. Thank you to all the reviews that spoiled the ending, I’m so glad I didn’t read to that point because I know it would’ve made me extremely mad…
I usually like when books use mixed media, but I hate the structure of this book so much — I read 4 out of the 5 parts and we haven’t found out anything about the main storyline since the first part? The last 3 were just so useless and I struggle to see why the author would tell these side plots, even after finding out what the twist is. Personally, it made me lose all of my initial interest. 😔

The narrator and his friends are all deeply unlikeable, joking about rape etc.
