this was such an interesting read. it took me a little while to get into but once i did it was so worth it. this book is marketed as science fiction but i felt it was more impactful to read it as an analysis of a trauma response. something that ive seen conflicting opinions on is the narration style/changes but i loved it. you get through about half of the book before the narrator reminds you that he is in fact Not billy pilgrim and completely shatters the illusion and tension in the best way.

Definitely not something I would usually gravitate towards, but I'm so glad I picked it up! I loved how the concept of time was used to move the story forward.
