I don't know how I feel about this one. For such a short book this dragged on a lot for me. I didn't find most of it interesting at all. The only part that hooked me was the last 10ish pages.

The writing of this is really interesting and done in such a fun structure. The characters were okay. I was constantly waiting for something more interesting to happen and was left a bit disappointed.

Setting: Massachusetts 
Rep: n/a

This started out with five star potential but as it went on it slowly became less and less interesting or engaging, and I found Art to be an utterly insufferable narrator. The story didn't even make any sense, nor did the ending. I persevered as it was under 300 pages and I was waiting for some kind of twist or reveal but there was nothing. Major letdown.
