This won’t work for many readers. The structure is odd, the depicted reality is inconsistent, and there are probably a few too many chapters and too many heartfelt moments? It worked for me. I like metaphors that feel simple at first and then break. This would have been a perfect book with 20% more editing. Recommended.
