2.0

If you like slow, meditative books where the characters just sort of exist and live their lives, you’ll like this book. There’s not much of a plot, despite so many out-of-left-field development, so tension isn’t what’s driving the story forward. 

This book is focused on a relationship, but

as the characters don’t really communicate, so any interpersonal conflicts never erupt and resolve so you never get those story beats. There never seem to be any stakes to their relationship. Pressure points are brought up only to go nowhere and fizzle out.

 

I also didn’t love the writing style, this book floundered a bit for me. The video game analogies got tedious after a while, and I prefer books that show more than tell, unlike this one.

the zionism, second wave feminism, and internalized anti-asian racism is not subtle in this
