As others have written, it's a "quiet" novel.
I'm just not so convinced by the background story of the main character who is super rich and was orphaned as a child. Part of the story then is how he deals with his privileges and his trauma. I feel like these tropes appear inproportionately often in novels to make the plot more dramatic or sth - which wouldn't have been necessary for the perspectives and themes the book explores. In a way. Not completely sure yet what to make of it.
