challenging dark sad medium-paced

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Beautifully written and still very hard to read. I mean who enjoys reading about

unpaid labor, drug addiction, and racism

? That said, the narration of an embodied drug and the structure of the book were both strong, and I found myself wanting to continue reading.

mercourier's review

Couldn't get into the story at the moment in time I chose to read this. I liked the beginning but had trouble adjusting to the POV switch.
