careening towards nothing. aimless, much like the narrator’s life, so i think the goal was achieved. i finished it, though, so i can’t say i didn’t enjoy something about it, but i wouldn’t reread and probably wouldn’t recommend unless you like following a character in making decisions you probably wouldn’t make, but not experience much of a conclusion.

This book is missing two important things, IMO:
 

 
1. We never find out any detail regarding Alex' history with Dom. What did she do? How much money does she owe him? What exactly is their relationship? All the vague hints seem to set up a big reveal... which never happens.

2. A decent ending. We're left hanging, as if there's going to be a sequel. I don't think there's going to be a sequel.
