I’m an idiot who literally never thinks that a book could have an unreliable narrator unless it’s extremely obvious so the ending really threw me for a loop at first. Immediately after finishing the book, I was confused and thought it was pointless, but after thinking more about what the ending implied for the rest of the story, it changed my perspective. Now I have a decent amount of appreciation for what the story was trying to say, and I think it executed it pretty well. I still feel it was a bit too artsy for its britches and I’m still kind of “…so what about that?” about it, but I gained something from the read and enjoyed myself and it was very memorable, so overall I liked it.
