God, this book really hit me. I understand why it doesn't work for some people, why the constant profound things these characters are saying wouldn't resonant and would even annoy people. But Jesus, there were so many times as I was reading this that I felt a physical ache in my chest. Then they mentioned the Opportunity and its last words and I started fucking crying.

This was one of those books I had high expectations for based on the hype, and overall I was disappointed. The messages and themes were relevant and interesting, but the way they were executed through the characters fell flat. The characters were believably flawed, but their behaviour and the way they talked wasn't believable. Some of the writing is beautiful, but the prose doesn't slot into a believable narrative.
