Complex, rambling, hard to pin down the themes and plot. Interesting enough

DNF. I made a promise to stop reading books I didn't enjoy. This is my first DNF ever.

Honestly, I don't think Zadie Smith is for me, this is not the first novel by her that I didn't enjoy.

There just didn't seem to be any momentum in the story 30% in.

I have no idea what that book was about. Don’t know why I kept reading… maybe because I kept believing at some point it would all make sense?? It never did.
