It captured the feeling of that suffocating molasses feeling the online world often feels like, however it didn’t breech the why it feels or is like that, and that to me felt like an itch I wanted scratching
I found the narrator confusing and disorientating but that is the point
This will stay with me

The first half was tougher to get through, it was hit or miss with it's satirical musings on social media (the Portal), politics, and our generation's views. The second half of the book was really moving and humanizing. We switch gears to a more cohesive story, which is much more my speed.
When you stand back and look at the two writing styles it makes sense - the first half is filled with nonsensical, comment style observations (like posting in the Portal), while the second half fills the pages with emotions and images (like reality). Not my favorite book, but I appreciate the artistic style.
