Two things I didn't like about the book is that the writer didn't use indications for when people we're having a conversation/emailing with each other. It was also sometimes very unclear who we were reading about > no POV announcements.

I found the characters and relationships compelling. Through them, the story got at truths that simple statements can’t capture as brightly.
I see here that many people disliked the email exchanges, but I enjoyed them. It was interesting to hear the characters’ big ideas and then to see the minutiae of their days and personal entanglements.
And best of all, I really enjoyed the way this story closed.
Also I highly recommend the audiobook, the narrator was SUPERB and captured each character so perfectly.
